I don't. The most generous situation is where someone had "some words" and "some more words", an attacker stole the first set, and not the second. First, why were they able to steal one and not the other, and you are somehow able to recall both? Second, you can do the same thing by using a 24 word seed phrase and storing half in one place and half in another.

In the end, "some words" plus "some more words" is indistinguishable from "some words", so why do we expect them to behave differently?

Don't try to make ”your own cryptography"

I'm not sure whether you're arguing for or against what I said, but in my view the passphrase mechanism is actually "your own cryptography" tacked onto the seed phrase mechanism
