I don't agree with anybody who says fear is inherently good. It's an instinctual reaction that impairs logical thought, and hence—my opinion here—it is antithetical to safe climbing.
Fear itself does not impair logical thought. Panic impairs logical thought. Fear places emphasis on survival rather than other goals without it focus on other goals may distract somebody from what matters.
Fear keeps us alive out there.
