No growth could mean you're still at the flat part of exponential. Linear means it's definitely not exponential.

  wait, this makes no sense... there is no flat part of the exponential... the derivative of the exponential is the exponential!

    I should have said the flat part before an exponential. Like a hockey stick.
    • progmanal 11y ago
      I think he is being pedantic, because that part is also exponential.
      • vjvj 11y ago
        and really not that dissimilar to linear growth during that stage of the curve...
