Honest question: what if Electrum (for whatever reason) produces a weak seed phrase, as the ColdCard did? How would you know?

Ohh sorry meant to post this to your previous post / article ;) My bad, same question though...
Electrum has been around since 2011. It is:
* open source
* deterministic
* reproducible
* widely reviewed
* independently used by many Bitcoin users
The seed algorithm is documented.
You can recreate the wallet from:
* the seed phrase
* the derivation path
* the wallet type
There is no proprietary hardware layer and Electrum seeds are not BIP39 by default.
