   Which gives around 3.7 psi partial pressure of oxygen.  Perfectly   
   fine.  When you look at his claim for ISS atmosphere, you get around a   
   9 psi partial pressure of oxygen, which is very, very bad for you and   
   will probably kill you in a couple of days.  That alone should tell   
   him he's wrong, yet he will still argue for it.
