I dont think that is entirely true because we built our ramp last weekend, and it is very steep. If your robot is top heavy, the minute you try to climb the ramp you will turn over. Also, the diamond plate makes it really hard to grip, i think very few teams will actually be able to get up the ramp successfully.
