Or if it is your key and your air-gapped hardware wallet gets hacked because someone didn't use the right RNG. Crypto is apparently never yours; you're just holding on to it for some future criminal or nation state.

hardware waller is NOT your key too. YOUR key is the paper wallet generated OFFLINE on a clean laptop that was never connected to web. There is a giant difference.

Your method does not protect against what the person you replied to, posted.
If your paper wallet, generated offline, used a bad RNG, it is just as vulnerable.

That sounds like your housekeeper's key...

And then make sure to never have any memory loss or you’ll lose all your money too.
You can store crypto with zero risk of electronic access just using offline wallet generation and an offline wallet. It's not even hard.
