I think there was enough information for the person to realize they were taking the Pro side. The description the colored borders for people more informed about DA.

Con: Good luck if you debate this again.

Pro: It's an understandable bit of confusion, but not grounds to forfeit the remaining rounds (when the mistake became clear, con probably would have been willing to have the debate deleted, had such been requested in the comment section). In future if stuck on the wrong side, just take the opportunity to explore that viewpoint; it will help you make your own points more strongly if you've really searched them for weaknesses.
