Yeah, I think I agree with you. In my head I hold space for the fact that bad trips can be resultant of three larger factors:

- Overstimulation and a lack of "preparedness" for that level. That touches on my Mt Hood example.

- Unmanaged triggers ahead of a psychedelic experience. You can feel this on something as simple as THC and certain terpenes.

- Contaminants that defeat the expectation of what the substance "should be" and are potentially unsafe.
