Your argument's only flaw is we do not know for certain that there is life on Pluto (ok it is a stretch but still...)
You could have used the example that the Earth eclispes the Moon all the time and yet there is no life there.
Besides... what do eclipses have to do with forming life anyway? Maybe he means there needs to be a Moon to create tides and stuff. I dunno.

I did not use that example because there is life on the Earth. So, that would not qualify as refuting the assertion that the conditions for producing solar eclipses make at least one of the bodies habitable.
So, I used the Pluto/Charon pair to illustrate a solar eclipsing Planet/Moon system where neither body was habitable. (arguably)
