COLDCARD HAS TWO DICE MODES.

ONE USES COLDCARD ENTROPY AND THEN ADDS USER PROVIDED DICE RANDOMNESS ON TOP. THIS MODE GENERATES A SECURE SEED REGARDLESS OF DICE ROLLS.

THE OTHER IS USER PROVIDED DICE ROLL ENTROPY ONLY. IF A USER DOES NOT BRING ENOUGH RANDOMNESS TO SEED GENERATION IN THIS MODE - RECOMMENDED TO PROVIDE GREATER THAN 100 GOOD DICE ROLLS - THEY CAN GENERATE AN INSECURE SEED. THIS MODE ENABLES AN ADVANCED USER TO GENERATE A SEED IN A REPRODUCIBLE WAY WITHOUT TRUSTING COLDCARD.

Is this TRULY necessary? A simple pushback on why I need to go to Coldcard. How ‘bout Foundation? Such biases in this space that I’m currently tremendously bullish on

He wasn't suggesting you have to use Coldcard just talking about a feature it has. Besides Foundation copied the Coldcard code & used it to make their own wallet so they are the same, although I would never buy Foundation on principle.
