I've also been on the other end of this as a merchant, and can tell you that things are heavily biased in the card holders favor.
I'm not disputing what you experienced, but I do think that is very very atypical.

And it is expensive for the business to have a charge questioned. Last I knew it was 50$ but probably a lot more now.
