That sounds logical, but what about the other way around?: What about when we don't fear something until we come to understand it? Then it's too late because the damage has been done. Example: In the early years of the 20th century, how much was known about the dangers of long term cigarette smoking? Even as late as mid-century (1950s and 60s?) the cigarette companies were defending cigarette smoking. They kept saying there was no proof of any harm.
