Agreed.
"moving the goalposts" or "kicking the can" or something comes to mind.
When I was building airgap-coinflip, before I added the "[Dev] Fill Test Vector" demo button, after my fingers were getting sore tapping 1000s of 0s and 1s, I noticed that my "random" finger-tapping of 0s and 1s was surprisingly frequently generating seed phrases with: a) duplicate words, and b) multiple words starting with the same letter. I added tests for those to the sanity check of the user-entered coin flips, throwing Warnings, not an Errors, when detected.
Audits and suggestions welcome, please:

Currently runs...
Inspired by Ian Coleman (in a good way) and Rodolfo Novak (not so much).
