Yes, I can go along with that. I do, how ever feel the definition of “coward” is subject to definition. In interfacing with peers position among others involving status quo issues dont seem relavent to me. A stiff drink and bling arrogance can have one appearing larger than life, to what end. Think here, more succinctly, one wrestles with the “infamous” self. That coward in the shadows who seeks opportunity for expression. Feeling Emerson puts it well.
