I think “legitimacy of fear” is very simple; the greater someone’s ability to kill you dead, the more legitimate your fear of them is.

It is more legitimate to be afraid of someone with a baseball bat than someone with only their fists. It’s more legitimate to be afraid of someone with an AR-15 than someone with a baseball bat. It is more legitimate to be afraid of someone who can cause city-destroying earthquakes with their brain than someone with an AR-15.
