Good point. But because being arrogant is more fun ... ... first a nitpick: Exponential growth is a mathematics term and it's misused a lot by programmers and HN users (to mean "growing really fast."). ... then a wider sweeping comment: Thanks to COVID-19, the understanding of what exponential growth means has probably increased a lot in the general population. It was quite funny to see people saying things like "Not only are the cases growing exponentially, but the daily increase is also growing exponentially." Well, you can show them wolframalpha.com/input/?i=derivative+of+e%5Ex or there 10th class math books with all the content they knew they would never need once they left school.
