There is something to that but still you intertwine it with idiosyncratic interpretation which causes problems. Monarchical Trinitarianism is a thing and there is what we call in Orthodoxy Monarchy of the Father where the Son is eternally begotten from the Father and the Spirit eternally proceeds from the Father. Thus everything comes "from the Father," "through the Son," and "in the Holy Spirit." That doesn't mean the Father is superior or has anything the other persons don't have though - all three persons are equally God and they share the same power and will (and they have identical perspective on things).
The Trinity is probably the most complex doctrines in Christianity and it's easy to get things wrong if you don't read what the Church fathers wrote about it but go on intuition and your own reasoning. The nature of God transcends the limits of time, space and our limited mortal reasoning. We didn't come to knowledge of Him through reasoning and observation of the world but through divine revelation. God is the ultimate mystery. But gnostics believe they can arrive to knowledge about God (the Truth) through rational means, denying the limits of their reason. Gnosticism is the ultimate folder-chasing and many conspiracy people fall pray to it. It's all because of bad theology and lack of humility.
