Reason:

original topic. I'd prefer a less subjection comparison than just "better than" because just about everything is better than just about everything else in some way.

Pro's argument was too brief and far too unsubstantiated. Con's arguments were persuasive, succinct but sufficient. I was surprised that Con's argument was mostly sensory (as opposed to some performance or status argument) but that worked well in this context.

Args to Con
Only Con used sources and those were fun and effective
Conduct to Con for quadruple forfeit (really?)

Reason:

Con produced better arguments. Con had more and better sources. Both had acceptable spelling and grammar. Pro forfeited almost every round and in addition to that, he conceded the whole debate in the final round.
