"Where does it mention this?  I must have missed it.  \n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\n\n\tThere's a difference between a Shardbearer and a Surgebinder.  Shardbearers have Plate an/or Blade, but dead Blades/Plate do not give them the ability to breathe in Stormlight or heal.  \n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\n\n\tYes, Word of Brandon.  There's a repository of them that we maintain called The Arcanum.  It's pretty nifty - you should check it out (although fyi, there are Oathbringer spoilers there).  \n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\n\n\tBrandon puts a ton of time and effort into his worldbuilding, especially Roshar.  As others have mentioned, the reduced gravity was something that was settled on well before the books were released.  It's how he was able to have these giant monsters (i.e. the chasmfiends and other greatshells) exist at all.  He cares a lot about grounding his works in as much real-world physics as possible, where he can.  He even worried about red shift when designing the speed bubbles!\n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\n\n\tWhile these things may feel inconsistent to you, that doesn't make them inconsistencies.  They're not objectively inconsistent, as evidenced by the people disagreeing with you. \n \n\n\n\tPeople interpret things in different ways.  For example, it feels inconsistent to you that Sadeas would goad Adolin because you think it's obvious that Adolin would try to kill him.  However, there were a ton of people on the forum who cried foul because Adolin murdering someone in cold blood felt extremely out of character to them.  \n \n"
