Don’t you think there’s something inherently wrong with a system where someone can either afford to stand up to a (possible) bully or they can’t? Absent the intervention of public outrage the side willing/able to withstand more legal fees “wins” these fact patterns the vast majority of the time. To me, that doesn’t seem like a system designed to achieve the intended outcome in the spirit of the law.
Yes, there's something inherently wrong with it. That said, there's no sense arguing too hard against systemic injustice here because there are way too many folks that hate being nice to have that not end with your comment flagged.
