Why should you need to ask him that when you wrote it? There's no other interpretation than "Rosetta Code has better content than Programming-Idioms". It's impossible for him to miss that. And it is indeed debatable.

I'm asking him that because if he wants to debate a point I made, he should understand what point I've actually made. It's clear he didn't understand my point.

De facto there is another interpretation, because ravenstine didn't interpret it that way. You would think that it would be impossible for him to miss that, but it's apparent that he did miss that.

"Rosetta Code has better content than Programming Idioms" is certainly debatable, but if you wanted to debate that, wouldn't it make sense to start by comparing something from Programming Idioms to something from Rosetta Code? He didn't bring up Programming Idioms at all--the only site he compares Rosetta Code to is completely irrelevant (Stack Overflow). I'm not sure what point he's debating, but it's certainly not "Rosetta Code has better content than Programming Idioms".
