Precisely. Making it easy forhumansa to bring their own entropy is more important. And if entering a seed is common enough for the checksum to be a worthwhile convenience, then the operational model is already broken

I honestly don't like the checksum part. If I input a wrong seed phrase, then I won't see any funds. That's all the checking I need to know I should try again. Sure, it can sometimes be handy, but I think it was just a clever use for the extra bits without regard for the whole COMPLETELY offline secret generation taken into consideration (which I value far more). What's the safest way to do a checksum without risk of leaking, in your opinion? I know you included a script here, but as someone who has no cyber security knowledge, that seems scary. Like you said, it'd be nice if HWW let me enter 23 words and display for me the remaining possible 8. Do none of them do this? I would prefer this, plus it would let me do simple coin flips which is easy to understand.
