Here's the acid test. It's basically asking them if they'll accept a clause that makes lawsuit losers pay the fees.

"What was going through my head was the real test I was planning to use now. And this test was the important one, the “acid test” and I went to it immediately. “Well, if we cannot use relatively inexpensive methods of enforcement, we can still avoid some of the problem by simply providing that the winning party in any dispute gets attorney fees from the losing party. Simple as that. It stops fights before they begin since both sides only go to court if they are convinced they will win. No insincere fights since if you lose you pay for your opponent’s attorney fees as well.”

I have to say - this whole thing reads like bad fanfiction, takes forever to get to the point, and offers advice that is pretty narrowly applicable. I regret taking the time to read it. Perhaps if I were a lawyer it would be better.
