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.
