If it is just a nit, why don't you ignore my remark as I suggested?

Now suppose I give you a graph that shows you how different people
are making progress. Would you prefer the rather flat curves instead
of the steep curves because the latter gives you the idea of someone
having to conquer huge obstacles or would you choose the steep curve
because they show you someone is getting results fast?
