    I think this specific chain of replies is talking about that actually… though it is a pretty big tangent from the original post

      “can you string words to form a valid RSA key”

      “Yes this is the most secure way to do it”

      “No, it’s not when there is a fixed byte length”

      -> where we are now

        the direct chain I can see is

        “can you string words to form a valid RSA key”

        “I would hope so, [xkcd about password strength]”

        “words are the least secure way to generate random bytes”

        “Good luck remembering random bytes. That infographic is about memorable passwords.”

        “You memorize your RSA keys?”

        so between comments 2 and 3 and 4 I’d say it soundly went past the handcrafted RSA key stuff.
