Who says the axes are labeled "familiarity" and "learning period"? I
just assume they are labeled (y-axis) "Effort" and (x-axis) "Knowledge"
(or "skill" or ....).
Which means that something with a 'steep learning curve' requires a lot
of effort to achieve a small amount of knowledge (or skill or ...).
