In the "honest but incorrect claims" case it requires fee-shifting from the mistaken plaintiff to the innocent defendant. These costs are significantly higher than they need be in the absence of a contractual choice of venue. (When the claims really are honest but incorrect in the US legal system, the defendant cannot recover costs. Other countries vary.)
