Yes that's a problem that I'm now realizing exists. Whoops! Changing
the parameters to a 25-of-50 setup gets us ~129 bits in that case,
which is better but still somewhat crappy as 25 is a lot of words to
remember. You'd be *far* better off just memorizing a BIP-39
seedphrase. Maybe it would make sense to include in the hash some
extra secret phrase as extra entropy? Probably not worth it.

Upon some later research I found that this is actually the case from
certain vendors, which is unfortunate.
>I'm not sure why you would want to go this route :)
Because it was a fun idea I had while eating Chinese take-out the other day=
