Completely correct.

The secret to a successful password is an arcane string, not something one would have to write down.

A brute force attack will eventually reveal any password. Especially on badly configured systems which allow unlimited guesses.

The whole idea of a password is to achieve something only the user knows by heart.

A string of 32 characters, with punctuation and random caps doesn't fit.
