I get your point... I didn't say a loser pays system would solve all the problems. Clearly, things would have to be monitored and controlled to avoid the threat of paying court costs as a deterrent for legitimate legal action. But judges could make sure that doesn't happen.
Anyway, the "deep-pocketed entities" already have an overwhelming advantage in the current system. Loser pays wouldn't change that, it'd just help keep these ridiculous suits from going to trial.
