too much learning in too short a time

Interesting that everyone carries an image of a graph line – where does that come from? (don’t say 0,0!)

Surely the meaning is little to do with time but everything to do with effort – so the equation, plotting Effort on the Y axis, is more like:

Effort = Accomplishment³

Thus the implication is that to gain each further increment of accomplishment costs an escalation of effort, I reckon.

But a quick google shows this is a term now so badly hackneyed by the computer industry that we should probably all try to excise it from our repertoire anyway!
