It's about the randomness/unpredictability/entropy of the passphrase.
There are less grammatically correct sentences with 4 words than there
are combinations of 4 words in total.
So, yes, you can take a sentence that makes sense, but then the whole
passphrase has to be longer. There is an

I'm a big fan of that list, and for some time I've been meaning to generate

Signal assumes TOFU, and warns if the key is changed. That can have a
ligitimate reason (new installation), or indicate an attempted mitm
attack.
Hello,
I read that I should self-sign my pub key, but when I do this after

If you want a simple random list, look at diceware:
