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
