Why would it be incorrect? Can you explain further please? Because Czech requires double, triple etc. negatives, it would seem that a negative sentence would require negation in the pronouns associated with the negative verb. "Není se ničeho bát."

Not in this type of sentence "Mít se čeho + infinitive" "Být čeho + infinitive".
