People will be like "what if there's this New Fear that was missed by Smirkes fourteen?" the whole point is that the fears can't be categorized. The whole point is Smirke's fourteen is a very flimsy way of categorizing something that can never be separated. The final ritual that started the end of the world worked because the fears were treated as one. Inventing a new microlabel for a *very specific* kind of fear is pointless, because you can just keep dividing and slicing it into smaller and smaller pieces until you won't even know what you're talking about. The fears bleed into each other!! Every time you divide the fears based on a single difference, there will be another similarity that joins them back together!!
