Comment: Three of the sources do not even mention the phobia. Medical claims should be sourced to "review articles (especially systematic reviews) published in reputable medical journals, academic and professional books written by experts in the relevant fields and from respected publishers, and guidelines or position statements from national or international expert bodies" per WP:MEDRS, not pop science websites and user-generated Q & A sites.

Agnosiophobia
editAgnosiophobia is the phobia, or fear, of not knowing. It is derived from the Greek words "agnosia" and "phobos," which independently mean not knowing or ignorance and fear or aversion respectively.[1][2]
Misinterpretations
editAgnosiophobia can be confused with xenophobia, the fear of the unknown,[3] because both fears are related to a lacking of knowledge;[4] but, more commonly, because of their similar spellings, agnosiophobia is mistaken for agoraphobia, an anxiety disorder relating to situations perceived unavoidable or inescapable,[5] but these two fears are entirely unrelated.
