Interesting "hyperbolic" ? From the Oxford "hyperbola - curve produced
when cone is cut by plane making larger angle with base than side of
cone makes (c.f. ellipse). Hence hyperbolic . Maybe what was meant was
the adjective of hyperbole (exaggerated statement not meant to be taken
literally - hence " hyperbolical"). Just a thought from a reader.
Kind regards
