What's the difference?

According to the description and Laconic for Exaggerated Trope, an Exaggerated Trope is a trope turned Up To Eleven. Why don't we just say "Up To Eleven"?

I think Exaggerated Trope is Up To Eleven applied to tropes, while Up To Eleven itself can be applied to anything. There does seem to be a lot of redundancy though since most people use the term Up To Eleven when describing an Exaggerated Trope instead of potholing to Exaggerated Trope on work pages. But I don't think it's too big of a problem, though, since Exaggerated Trope is still a useful page for Playing With Wiki.
