Sure, Surgebinding comes from Honor and Cultivation. Still demonstrates a rather large flaw in the understanding of how it works on the part of the character.

For a character like a spren or Fused, their entire interpretation of the world is probably based on Shards, as they are literally part of that being.  If Honor is the source of the surge of gravitation, an Honorspren probably sees gravity as a product of Honor, for example.  In fact, both could be true.  It's possible for gravity to be inherent to the Cosmere, for humans.  But for spren and other beings similar to spren, their version of gravity could be entirely different.

I take these character quotes as confirmations

Just one more specific example: Mraize says "Lord Thaidakar is too busy and important to visit Roshar in person, only as his Avatar."

Brandon explicitly confirmed this week that Kelsier can DEFINITELY NOT make an Avatar, and he is completely unable to leave Scadrial in any way.

Even characters who know A LOT are still spectacularly wrong about very important things.  Don't think of these as "red herrings", think of them as "delicious complications".  I'm sure that's how Brandon sees them.  :P
