intimidation plateau

A term used in certain sports that involve intimidation. When you have 2 intimidating people, you don't put them one right after the other. That would be a mountain. If you spread out the intimidating people, you make a plateau. This is to ensure that throughout the whole game there will always be an intimidating person to come.

Big Intimidating Guy 1: Are you going to bat after me in this inning?
Big Intimidating Guy 2: No, we need an intimidation plateau.
Big Intimidating Guy 1: A what?
Big Intimidating Guy 2: An intimidation plateau.
Big Intimidating Guy 1: Ok.

Energy-Knowledge Plateau

Energy-knowledge plateau: (noun) The point at which energy-knowledge acceleration has reached its limit, and it is no longer possible to find a more efficient energy source that can improve the rate of knowledge acquisition. It emphasizes the idea that the rate of knowledge acquisition has leveled off or reached a maximum point, and that further improvements in energy efficiency will not lead to significant increases in the rate of knowledge acquisition.

The energy-knowledge plateau was reached when no more energy source was found to be more efficient than the current one, limiting the rate of knowledge acquisition and stalling further research.
