We're not discussing a malicious actor, we're discussing someone having a bad trip on LSD. It is a completely different thing.

The unpredictability means they might as well be a malicious actor.
Not really. Someone panicking on acid would do different things than a sober person trying to knock the ISS out of orbit. Obviously.
'Not really' - best not bet the lives and a huge amount of money on 'Not really'
I don’t know what argument you’re trying to make. The question is: should the ISS be hardened against someone on LSD. My answer is: that is fucking absurd, and generic hardening against malicious actors is tangential at best.
