So it's just pushing the problem a bit further away by hiding your real key. See, you have to be able to recover your account even if you've lost every single of your electronic devices. Every one of them. Including flash drives. No data. No backups. None. Zero bytes.

The fundamental problem with keys is that they are files. You can't exactly memorize one, not without torturing yourself. You have to store them somewhere extremely reliably but at the same time completely secretly.
