Although exponential is technically correct when the base is 2, I find it really masks what real exponential growth is like.

When I hear "exponential growth," I think 256, 65536, 4294967296, 2^64, 2^128




2^(2^n) is a double exponential function. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_exponential_function)
