so you are saying 44 bits of entropy is not enough. the whole point of the comic is, that 4 words out of a list of 2000 is more secure then some shorter password with leetcode and a number and punctuation at the end. which feels rather intuitive given that 4 words are way easier to remember

No im saying if your password size is limited to a fixed number of characters, as is the case with RSA keys, words are substantially less secure

Not if you’re considering security gained versus difficulty of remembering.

You don't memorize RSA keys
