Not surprisingly, you do not understand the argument at hand, or you are deliberately misrepresenting it. Also, you don't seem to understand what bitcoin core's role is as a reference implementation, but keep referring to it while we're actually talking about HWWs, which is a whole different thing. LOL A security model sucks if it's just technically superior. That was the whole point of adding mnemonics as an extra layer of security: to optimize the human factor. Bitkey is suboptimizing the human factor. Its anti-bitcoin ethos. It's "don't verify, trust" wrapped in a shitty product.
