No.. it's actually quite horrible.... humans are a bad source of entropy. Nobody should ever do this. NEVER!! Terrible advice... really... Shouldn't we know better by now??

Humans aren’t the source of entropy. The EGG is. You would need to spend more than 1 minute on BorderWallets.com to learn this, but it is there and clearly explained.
