Rick & Morty Munchkin: Trap vs. Effect of Trap

Greetings Fellow Munchkin Enthusiasts,
I recently purchased the above noted iteration of the game and have become a big fan, hoping to expand the collection to the other sets over time and to be able to grow support as I host games myself.

I ran a game last night where the Bad Stuff result from a monster was to suffer the effects of the top 2 Trap cards in the discard pile. One of the players had a "Cancel a Trap" card in hand and attempted to use it, however I deemed that the "Effect" of a Trap is not itself a "Trap" to be canceled and as such was something the player had to suffer. Was this interpretation a valid one given the way I've worded things, or should the player have been allowed to use that card in that scenario?
