One way to understand how smaller increments can lead to drastic changes in terms of exponentiation, is to consider the difference in values between 1^1000 and (1.01)^1000. 1^1000 is still 1, but (1.01)^100 is ~ 20,960! This is why social distancing is such a crucial measure of prevention against the spread of COVID-19.
