That's very true, and especially the part about strength of character. An actually strong character who is, for example, put in a seemingly hopeless position will keep on trying anyway. They'll never give up, or at least not for good, because hopeless or not they have courage and determination. A weak character in such a situation gives up. They cry and whine and demand for this not to be happening. A strong character who has made a terrible mistake owns up to it and tries to make amends, and if the person they wronged chooses not to forgive them, they accept it. A weak character in the same position will make childish excuses and resort to blame-laying, and if someone they wronged chooses not to forgive them they will immediately assume that person is just bad and wrong and is now their enemy.
And so on. What writers like Paolini don't get is that choosing not to fight is often ten times more courageous than always resorting to brute force.
