That's fair, I suppose a better way to word my point would be that any sort of "extreme" maneuver, absent some warning from the pilot about a rough takeoff or landing (or turbulence while in flight) is unusual for a passenger plane. Having that happen just after takeoff we're near the ground would give me some concern regardless of which direction I subjectively felt we were moving in, up or down. I've been through plenty of rough takeoffs and landings as a passenger and I just find it hard to believe that not a single person on the flight didn't at least think to themselves "hey, this isn't a normal climb to 10k".
