Not really. Forced pre-dispute arbitration between persons of different legal sophistication is.

Pre-dispute arbitration per se is perfeclty fine in most commercial settings. In many cases, it prevents the party with more money running out the clock on the other's legal resources.

You are correct. Please see https://arbitrationinformation.org/#scope for some additional limitations that I intended.

I should write out a more formalized (or at least, copy-pasteable) view here.

(this effort is entirely done on my free and spare time. which I have very little of :( )
