But since you are appealing... ya I got nothing."

It's an arbitrator, and of course they aren't going to just give up if they get to a hearing. They'll argue why they think they should win, in a way so as to make it seem totally reasonable even if it absolutely is not - at that point, you're committed to seeing it through.
Frankly I don't know what you're trying to argue here.
