No, it's not that. The fear is that if the EU knows that we have to take the deal that's on the table back to Parliament, who could then tell the Government to go back for further negotiations, this will put the UK on the back foot, and the EU could exploit the position. It could result in the UK getting a worse deal because our negotiating hand is weakened.
