Brandon Sanderson / Re: 17th Shard Interview Transcript ***Warning: Spoilers for ALL Cosmere Books***

It was an interesting read, some of it had already been discussed on here. Mostly the bit about how each Order has access to two magic systems.
Inkthinker's right though, um and ahs be natural in spoken speech, but in a transcription they are disruptive to the reading. Also on the topic of Inkthinker: if it wasn't for him, the Stormlight Archive wouldn't have the Shattered Plains in it.
I thought it was pretty amusing that Brandon had forgotten that he'd given us Cultivation's name, in these big book series, it must be pretty easy to forget minor things. (Case in point: There is a climatic battle scene at the end of Robert Jordan's Winter Heart, but with all the characters around, he completely forgotten to mention the position of one of the minor ones, Erian.)
This is the 2nd interview where he mentioned that in Way of Kings Prime, Kaladin made the opposite decision he made in Way of Kings, and it happened at the beginning instead of the end. Should I take that to mean that he took the Shardplate and Shardblade in WoK Prime, or is he talking about something else.
