   I don't get that at all. If you fear for your life that is a panic   
   attack, and panic attacks always end, so if you do nothing you will be   
   just fine.   
   If you feel afraid of some thing, it never ends so fear of using some   
   technical thing can paralyze you with fear and that fear will never end,   
   even if there is no harm in the thing. If I am afraid when I put on a   
   tiny radio it will destroy all of the electricity in the house, I can be   
   reassured that this will not happen, but I will still be afraid to use   
   the radio. Every time I think to use the radio I will see in my mind the   
   house not having electricity for lights and AC and I am afraid to turn   
   it on.   
         Exposure may not cure it. I may turn it on and off and   
   see the same horrific events in my mind the next time.   
         This is simply an example.   
         But if I feel I will die I can just ignore it, for by   
   the time I get to a doctor I well feel better? That makes the lesser   
   fear more of a crippler than the greater fear?   
   Assuming of course that the physical feeling and the radio feeling are   
   realistically groundless!
