To be distinguished from the current contingency fee, which is paid by the successful plaintiff
He's trying to create a paradigm that only legitimate attorney's fees are those actually paid (and he's defining this using terms like "risk"). I think that's the communication issue y'all are having.

Right. I *think* he is smart enough to know the difference, but I can't tell.
Regardless, I'm all in for loser pays. Let's do it.

The paradigm, which needn't be created because it exists, is one of contingency driven US tort.
For the plaintiff, it's a system akin to a free lottery ticket. The defendant, on the other hand takes on legal costs from the beginning.
None of this has a thing to do with "legitimacy" of fees. I have no idea where you picked that up. It does have to do with plaintiff risk-reward, and wanton US social litigiousness.
