He wouldn't welch so much as weasel, because the way he was rationalizing his point of view and couldn't possibly be wrong. It's not the bet so much as him not admitting he's wrong. The bet would've just turned into finding a 3rd party who agrees with him, like the Mouth, etc. PH seems pretty cool overall, imho.
But, I'm in the camp that it's reasonable to want to see what your opponent bluffed with. It use to be that bluffs were with air, but as the game is starting to evolve people will want to know exactly what your opponent is bluffing with to see if they are bluffing too much or too little, or randomly/suboptimally. And, it becomes more important to hide what you have as much as possible.
It's not exactly something you can bet on, and it's been my experience that bets like this never work in practice, and are brought about by misunderstandings which are compounded.
