Spot on, guys! One may also say that "common good taste in music" for transitions are logarithmic rather than linear. I never though about this when playing hands-on as a musician but when I started to produce recordings I came to spend a lot of time drawing graphic curves to direct musical transition and I found that a progressive curve sounds natural. Same phenomenon came up recently when programming volume pedals for my Gordius Littel Giant; the curve that feels most musical to play is progressiv while linear totally kills the fun in performing.
