Once you judge fear by an objective standard, you can just target your policy at the objective state instead. If fear is valid because people are being kicked in the face, we are reduced to the "people should not be kicked in the face" consensus that I also agree with. Then why involve fear at all? If a person is unexpectedly kicked in the face, is it any better?
