I don't have proof of this but I suspect a table like that would fit within a terabyte

I don't think the average person is creative enough to NOT pick one of the known sentences so it would be a very bad security policy if you're talking about a commercial product.

Frankly though I'm not sure I could pick a sentence that's never existed if I was really trying.

No, I see it, and I'm trying to tell you that the fact that a password is known to exist does not compromise it absent *a lot* of knowledge about the specific nature of the password.

I can generate every 30 character combination of alphanumeric+common symbol passwords trivially, does that mean a 30 character random password is easy to crack?
