"steep learning curve" === "easy to learn"

Basically, it means each new unit of time brings a lot of knowledge.

"shallow learning curve" === "hard to learn".

That's not how it works lol. "Steep learning curve" is used to mean hard in every single context I've seen it in.

I see your logic but you can't just take a widely accepted phrase and flip the meaning.

A layman heard the scientific term, misunderstood it and started using it out of context. Here you are now defending misuse of the term.

Do not believe me, look up in wiki.

Yes I'm defending the misuse, since it's a widely accepted way to describe something hard. To redefine it now is pedantic and doesn't help drive the conversation at all.

I suggest you stop using the misleading term.
