Chiefest of these was the argument that since the Land was not real it could not kill him; a death here would only force him back into the reality that was the only thing in which he could believe. In his aloneness, he could not tell whether that argument expressed courage or cowardice.
Covenant still believes he is the 'only real thing,' and that the Land and all it's inhabitants are only a dream.
To kill or not kill himself as either courage or cowardice is the wrong question derived from a false premise.
The land is a vivid reality, failing to engage with it is the core question and Covenant's rejection is pure cowardice.
