Yes, the physics is good, but the debate is somewhat pointless because the two camps come from fundamentally different perspectives.
One believes that it's just an engineering problem (the pro-space colonies/interplanetary travel/etc side) and the other believes that it is a VERY DIFFICULT engineering problem that isn't simply solved by saying "we can solve that" (the space-cynic side).
Actually it is two different debates. One side is arguing whether it is possible (Clark vs. SciAm) and the other is arguing if is it easy (space-cynic and your mithical opponent).
