I don't think he did badly in the debate. It's just that his position is ridiculous, and so despite the fact that he debated well, White also debated well, and White's position actually makes sense. Just my assessment.
I totally agree. Pinto debated well. The only problem was that he didn't shoulder his burden of proof. Offering logical possibilities isn't the same thing as making a plausible case for something to be likely true. While Dr. White did show how unlikely and implausible Pinto's theory is.
