Pitching a Short for the Stock of a Bank you are Interviewing with

Is it frowned upon to pitch a short for the bank you have a superday with if asked to pitch something? I will not come in unprepared as I plan on bringing in printed versions of comps, an excess equity model, and a brief equity research report on why my pitch is justified. My thinking is that this type of move will show I can function under pressure and hold my ground in arguments. If all goes well, I could potentially change the mind of the employee who was long the stock prior to meeting me.

Thoughts?

Hahhaha this has to be a troll. Imagine an MD's face though, if some try-hard intervewee dumped a pile of paper on the desk in the middle of an interview. "Yeah these are some reports I've put together."
