Wonder how it’d look shoop’d to adjust accordingly

It wouldn't be that much better, since the climb up is also quite nice and scenic. Rollercoasters are fun, which is why they're fundamentally not a strong metaphor for something that has good and bad parts.

Ya

We must be extracting just the directional kind of aspect from it, using it as a substitute for ups and downs? So it works when mostly unexamined I guess?

Kind of like “I could care less“ but that one is simply a mistake without any creativity or sensible-ish substitution (so it rubs me much worse than the roller coaster thing). Almost hope I forget about this conversation so I don’t start to mind it 😉 hehe

Edit: “clumsy” yes definitely, looking at your parent comment again
