In an instance like Six's where its very heavily implied he died, but his cold (or even warm) dead body is not seen, taking a fanon idea on his survival and running with it is what we are encouraging users to do. We expect them to be well considered and explained - and Six's case can be done easily because the story ends abruptly with no definitive death being shown. While you could use the same for Kurt, one does not simply escape a point blank tactical nuke detonation or ensuing disintegration of Onyx. It is heavily implied that Kurt is killed, but if you were to propose a hypothesis, you would find there is no possibility for Kurt to survive. So the comparison used is of two entirely unlike circumstances. Ahalosniper, you could try to justify Grace's survival, but you are in the same boat as Kurt: more to the point, the book explicitly states her to be dead. So again, another entirely separate kettle of fish.

Linda's being bought back from the dead is an example of the ability of mid-26th century human medicine, and provides precedence of what is survivable for SPARTAN-II supersoldiers. In Six's case, B312 will not have suffered nearly the level of wounds that Linda has, and despite not being a SPARTAN-II, he could likely survive his plasma wounds and his stabbing as per the cauterization. But to carry on with that is probably missing the point of your interjection, Sona. Six, in fanon, is not bought back to life, but given the opportunity to continue living.
