I gave my reason for thinking otherwise.
What are your reasons, and why are you (I think) making a connection between the shape/spacings of the curves and the revisions thereof, and the time it takes to hear something?

I would have guessed steady state, but your statements imply otherwise.
Very interesting discussion.
Perhaps some of the debate about decay is due to a bit of imprecision in its definition.
If I remember correctly from my mechanical vibrations text, it's defined as a % amplitude reduction per cycle, or perhaps more usefully for audio, dB/sec.
That would remove...
