Indeed I have no wish to bow before common usage.

Then nobody will understand you properly if you start referring to a
"steep learning curve" when in their terminology you actually mean a
"shallow learning curve". Certainly, this discussion has alerted me to
a level of ambiguity with the term that would dissuade me from using
it, but then it's a hand-waving kind of term, anyway, which would be
better replaced with a proper description of whatever effect is
supposed to be observable.

Well that I made some people aware was all I intended. Personaly
I don't use the term either unless I have an actual curve to
show which I can use to explain how to interpret it.
