I think your argument with mikehuan is that there is no proper definition of karma.
For you to have an experiment, you have to first define what is karma.
After we define, then we set an experiment around it.
So, technically, you have provided your definition, and set a thought experiment.
However, now, the issue is that there are disagreement in the definition you set.
In that case, then it's up to the other person to define what karma is.
And define it in a manner such that it's quantifiable, and falsifieable.

Karma (/ˈkɑːrmə/; Sanskrit: कर्म, romanized: karma, IPA: [ˈkɐɽmɐ] (About this soundlisten); Pali: kamma) means action, work or deed;[1] it also refers to the spiritual principle of cause and effect where intent and actions of an individual (cause) influence the future of that individual (effect).[2] Good intent and good deeds contribute to good karma and happier rebirths, while bad intent and bad deeds contribute to bad karma and bad rebirths.[3][4]
Rebirth has been repeatedly emphasized.
