I agree with you.

The first boldface sentence expresses a reality, a fact, which is TRUE in the short term. A tiger would beat a man in the short term. It is true, in fact, also for the passage: "Such prediction, while true in the short term...."

This sentence is not argued, but the argument presents another way to see this statement: in the long term, it is the human to beat the tiger.

I don't believe that "the first is an instance of a belief that is refuted in the argument" because it is not refuted.
