Wel what is the second variable then?

What else is effort than the time you spent on it?

And yes you could do that, but in general it is not done because such an
organisation would make your curve no longer a function. Situations could
occur where more effort will result in less knowledge; where new material
seem to conflict with older material resulting in confusion.  With an
arrangement of axes like you proposed that would result in an inverted
c like curve. 

So you no longer have the familiar up and down movement but a movement
going left and right.
