If we are being pedantic about describing a curve that shows the 
progress of a person in learning a topic, there is no arguing with 
you, a steep curve describes fast uptake and is a good thing.

If we are being pedantic about what a learning curve describes, it 
seems possible that it describes the rate of knowledge uptake 
required to master a given topic, and that such a learning curve 
could exclude people that were unable to take in knowledge at that 
rate(for whatever reason) from mastering that topic, making it 
reasonable to describe such a topic as both 'hard' and 'having a 
steep learning curve'.
