I disagree. I think the point was that the only thing holding Arrow back was himself. He held himself back the entire time. He had to balance two lives at once. He lived on Lian Yu for 5 years. In that time, i'm pretty sure he conquered so many fears that the only thing that couldn't have conquered is the fact that he had to lead a double life.
