| Feb 3, 2017 at 20:45 | comment | added | user99677 | reverse tipping point? | |
| Feb 3, 2017 at 20:44 | comment | added | Hank | @Josh I don't see any reason why it can't be used in that manner, I just don't currently possess the ability to look and see if it has been used in this way before. | |

| Feb 3, 2017 at 20:43 | comment | added | user66974 | @Hank - the concept of an inflexion point can be used both in math and figuratively in any way it may be useful to convey the idea of the change in a trend. | |
| Feb 3, 2017 at 20:41 | comment | added | user99677 | @Josh hm maybe. | |
| Feb 3, 2017 at 20:41 | comment | added | Hank | @Josh Has "inflexion point" been used in this manner before? Or any manner not related specifically to a point on a curve? | |
| Feb 3, 2017 at 20:40 | comment | added | user66974 | I think you are looking for "inflection point". | |

| Feb 3, 2017 at 20:38 | comment | added | user99677 | from that article "The law of diminishing returns states that in all productive processes, adding more of one factor of production, while holding all others constant ("ceteris paribus"), will at some point yield lower incremental per-unit returns". i was thinking of using the word in a sentence about further study, and / or continued existential dread @Hank | |
| Feb 3, 2017 at 20:36 | comment | added | Hank | Peak? Can you give us an example? What context will it be used in if not economic/production theory? | |
