  If the relevant form of fear is best described as a prospect emotion, then the cognitive state of uncertainty would plausibly be necessary  for fear. Are we to conclude that audience members must be confusing  what they take to be fear with some other emotion? If so, what could  it possibly be? Although we may not be infallible introspectors, we  cannot help but assume that people can reliably identify when they  feel fear. An a priori assumption that fear requires  uncertainty is not sufficient to warrant the attribution of pervasive emotional misidentification. The same goes for suspense.
