There is only a few ways to win a debate or educate someone how to perceive something that is seemingly subjective as the "right" way to do something. Start with what all aesthetic rules are based on, things like the golden ratio, fibonacci sequence and other hard data that is present in nature that give us a starting point for all art and design.
The Bauhaus is also a great place to look because everyone there was obsessed in distilling the essence of visual communication into logical rules. Kandinsky did alot of interesting research on how humans react to shape and color. (Point and line to plane).
A simple lesson in visual hierarchy would yield logical result in why things should be this and not that. Grade everything on a design in order of importance and assign proper scale, placement and effect to achieve and enforce the grades assigned to each of the visual elements.
Start there.
