Part of the problem is that we have a much better worked out theory of reasoning than of arguing. So we are tempted to apply our theory of reasoning to evaluate our arguments, where we should prefer to apply a theory of arguing. So what we need is a better theory of arguing - what counts as a good argument, a good reply, etc.
What exactly do you mean by good?
I can't speak for Robin, of course, but I have a guess:
A good argument is an argument with money attached, as part of a bet or prediction market.
