As above, if you're asking about RAW, it's because the Fencer talent does not include daggers.

And if a GM wants to say that in some or all fencing schools in his campaign, Fencer does include dagger, the GM could re-define what the categories for expert-level training are, but if you read the Weapon Expert description, you'll see that Legacy defines expertise for daggers as being its own expert talent (which does include HTH), not included in Sword Expertise nor in Fencer.

From a "what does this represent that makes sense?" perspective, Fencer talent seems to represent focused high-level training with specific weapons, and a regular dagger in the right hand just isn't one of them.
