He's trying to create a paradigm that only legitimate attorney's fees
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.

Weren't y'all specifically talking about the award of attorney's fees for the "loser" in a loser pays?
You're trying to delegitimize contingency fees in the hypothetical "loser pays" system.
But the post I'm replying to makes it seem like you're trying to delegitimize them in all scenarios.
