A learning curve measures time on the x axis and progress on the y axis.

A flat learning curve means you never learn anything :-\

It should be called "learning hill" instead.

People (colloquially) use phrases like "steep learning curve" because they imagine learning curve is something you climb up, a.k.a. a hill.
