Reason:

pro keeps asserting not to compare the relatively new DART to DDO, but gives little evidence to counter con's arguments about how there are as many users who could debate well on DDO as the total users as DART. The convincing nature of the forum interaction counteracts pro, and comparing the retired olympic athlete to the young boy seemed fair to show that DART was developing well but didn't have the same level of user. For pro to win, he would have to infer that the quality of debaters were equally bad around 2 years. I think both pro could've benefited from using Web Archive to show exactly what was going on two years into DDO (which admittedly looks worse than DART), but he failed to do so, and as a result con has the edge in this debate.
