Funny, I would have placed on the x axis the time, and on the y axis 
"Knowledge". And Effort = lambda*time where lambda is the amount of 
effort per minute you are able to produce. Thus I always found it weird 
to call a steep learning curve something hard to learn.

Disclaimer: I have never made any study in that field, never read any 
reports or anything like that. It just feels much more natural for me to 
place the time on the x axis.
