No argument here, this similarity to what's going on is exactly what reminded me of his character.
Both "villains" in the stories are arrogant and will likely cause damage by their actions, but at the same time, their actions are not based ONLY on arrogance.

The ghostbusters knowingly used their equipment the first time without really testing it (the memorable elevator scene), and while the storage unit was effective, it too was never tested or approved.
Peck acted this way because he was an a-hole, but also because he wasn't given the information with the proper approvals in time.

Annies intended to just give objects with unknown effect to someone who is clearly mad.
The Court is wrong to just dismiss them, but it's not wrong to be at least suspicious about the motives, wonder about the impact, and see if they can get something in return.
