From your link:

> An activity that it is easy to learn the basics of, but difficulty to gain proficiency in, may be described as having "a steep learning curve".

That matches QWERTY exactly.

the way I explained it gets you to the right answer more quickly and frequently, plot proficiency vs experience (generally measured by time)

yes, a curve can change its slope from "learn the basics of" vs "gain more proficiency" and any place where it's not steep indicates difficulty.

that some things might have easy basics and other things might not have easy basics isn't really material, but where it matters, picking up the basics would be steep if it is easy.
