Our definitions seem entirely compatible: a more accurate and flexible model will enable greater capacity to face circumstances. A deer perceives risks from predators. We have a totemic fear of predators but also things that are less immediate, some innate (e.g. heights) and some acquired culturally (e.g. radiation). Our broadened threat model protects us from demise in a wider set of circumstances: e.g. deer flock to to the exclusion zone forests near Chernobyl because there;s few predators (including few humans), humans fled from there because they knew or were told by those who knew of the risks of radiation exposure.
