Is this accurate?

Can't I just generate an intermediate code, like

passphraseZjDp22R8V5RJ2EPNRQ6sCgZUzVqbjs3ETFDUm7RTig32caD63qniqn1rkKQPPn

and then you go and make a random bip38 encrypted address with that and publicly post the encrypted private key, like

6PRR7y2cxXPxnEp6HchFy4G2xU2tM3YT2Z4nLn92S9FhfD3xdLF5geh6e3

which I can then decrypt...

That gives just as little information as stealth addresses, right? How is this any different from stealth addresses??
