Yes, I'm trying to show that the Elo hell is the fact that your efforts are minimalized by the fact that you are in your proper Elo range, whatever that may be. If you improve your skill, then your efforts will be more noticable and you'll climb the ladder until they become minimalized again by other players of equivilent rating.
