How is that a stretch? There's a lot of room for Shardblades to not be what we think they are. Especially with Syl's only documented encounter with a Shardblade going the way it did. I'm just proposing an idea that, to me, fits the information we have.
I wasn't disputing your theory so much as the statement that Szeth thinks his Blade is cursed. From where I'm sitting, that just isn't true.
He left the King's shardblade; he had no use for it. The Blade Szeth already carried was curse enough.
Secondly, I reckon that Szeths surgebinding comes from a type of fabriel created by the stone shamans. The spren is imprissoned in the oathstone and that is why Szeth is very connected to this stone.
