That is not clear to me at all. You are making an intuition or hunch-based claim, but I know of no evidence to support that position. Many aspects of the human psyche defy intuition. I am not saying you're wrong; I am just saying I do not share the same hunch.

If you feel everyone everywhere should have at least a 1 in 6 chance of a freak out when confronted with anything that can cause someone without a relevant phobia to suffer such, Rule of 14 covers that. I don't feel that's accurate, however - last wake I went to didn't seem to have anywhere close to one in every 6 people get mentally Stunned upon seeing the deceased.

This probably means characters attending a wake shouldn't generally be making fright checks.
