Warning: Why Not Just Say “Steep Hill”?

Weird warning of steep slope.Curious warning sign at the Beale Street Landing on the Mississippi River in downtown Memphis.  It says:

Caution grass slopes may exceed 8%

Is “8%” meaningful information?  Would it not be better to say “Caution: Steep Hill”?

Also, this is a multi-million dollar new development.  Couldn’t they come up with a more professional sign.  Maybe someone texted the sign maker:

btw, we need some signage for the slope, something like Caution grass slopes may exceed 8%.  Why 8%?  To mess with them!  LOL
