I was coming from the idea that the fear itself - be it of heights, mannequins or tomatoes - was irrational, which doesn't seem to hold water, as you seem to agree. If I were to take up your definition of an irrational fear - that it's the inadequate response to those objects that matters... It makes sense. Thanks for peeling some of my own ignorance off me.
