Mmm hmm, except that a seed phrase isn't a will; <snip>
A seed is very different than a will. I would also consider it something like a safe and the key to the safe in one. 
Well thanks, newbie. I appreciate you quoting my post and then stating exactly what I said in it. I do hope you improve with time.
I don't think memorizing 12 words is good practice, also you should not use the same wallet for a very long time. Both go against the idea behind Bitcoin and can cause some issues.
Memorizing 12 words is insane if you've got a lot of bitcoin. Anyone who uses their own brain to store their seed phrase in is severely overestimating their own memory and underestimating how easy it is to get run over by a truck, hit with a baseball bat, etc.
But neither brain wallets nor using the same wallet for 'a very long time' go against the idea behind bitcoin as you say. Care to elaborate on that? Maybe I missed something Satoshi or the Bitcoin Core devs delivered from the mountain.
