@CelloMomOnCars Sounds right at first but the definition of exponential is not that something gets high from a low number but that you can describe it with an exponential function. Idealized economies also grow exponentially with something like 2% in a year.
@skaphle@CelloMomOnCars Yep, but you cannot do a meaningful fit to distinguish an exponential curve from, e.g., a power-law or polynomial one unless you have two-three orders of magnitude of data. So there, the OP was right. But yes, having a large data range doesn't guarantee that it is exponential...
