Love your definition....wish I'd written it.
Apart from the geographical table top type plateau, there is also to be considered a plateau (or levelling off) in performance, sometimes occurring before a peak or indeed after.

Giving definition for others anyhow lol
An extensive area of flat upland usually bounded by an escarpment on all sides but sometimes enclosed by mountains.
Or
When something hits a stable level. For example: Someone is dieting they hit a "plateau" where they don't gain or lose weight.

huh?
A plateau is like a stepping stone.....like a mountain climber makes stops at level places to catch his breath before he moves on to the next level or flat place so that he can reach the top of the mountain.
Sorry I didn't get your joke at all, am surprised one person did. what other meaning had you in mind?
