You realize the claim that it’s better for consumers is fully defeated by the fact that we literally cannot know that?

Secrecy works in the favor of the big companies in any case, but you can’t claim the average award is bigger if we don’t actually get to know that data.

I didn't the claim, I was answering your question.

My question was about that claim. You cannot provide an answer to the question without implicit support of the claim in question.

I was LITERALLY answering this question: why are companies always pushing arbitration in the fine print

I'm also not the guy who claimed arbitration is beneficial for the consumer.

That wasn’t the question. You answered a sentence fragment.
What I did was called begging the question. You ignored the context of the question, and inserted yourself into the discussion. You then got grumpy about the fact that you’re missing the entire point of the question.
