Check MJ's demo of Billie Jean, apparently before Quincy even got to it, sounds super close to the final mix:

they are close as far as melody and obviously lyrics, but the instruments and mix are separated by leaps and bounds. the demo version sounds a lot more synthesized. quincy fattened it up a lot
but you are correct in that this argues more towards mike getting his credit as a musician and not just a dancer
