Not necessarily. We can imagine something higher than ourselves, or we can say that it is derived from us. Just because the person who came about with the idea of 'honor' was not perfect himself does not mean that he couldn't have based the standards for honor on an imaginary being that was the most honerable possible being. Or he could have simply speculated as to how 'the most honorable possible being' would act, if it existed. You can fathom different degrees of honor, and agree why they are good, and yet you are imperfect. Your second point relies on the assumption that humans cannot fathom something greater than themself without experiencing it.
