not true, if I hadn't started dragging him he would have sat in space until he died

That is the problem. By attempting to save him, he was no longer doomed to suffocate in space. You changed that one you decided to stop saving him. You can't reduce the problem to "Human dying due to lack of air" because you already decided to try and save him. By deciding to stop saving him, you are actively changing his circumstances.

Also, you can't say for sure that his chances of survival are better or worse before you interceded.

He said that my abandoning him resulted in MORE harm, when the amount of harm was almost the same; I was correcting him on that.

The problem is you can't be sure. For all you know, he could have had a wormhole spawn next to him which he could regain consciousness just long enough to save himself with. Or he could have had a friend or mindslave go to try and save him and then look in the wrong spot after you moved him. By affecting even just his location, you change his situation in unpredictable ways.
