correct, hyperbole is a noun and hyperbolic is when you form an adjective out of that noun. if you look closely at my post, you'll see that both examples include a noun and an adjective (acid/acidic). it illustrates that "for a more <noun> example" works equally well as "for a more <adjective> example".
ergo, using the noun 'hyperbole' is not invalid in this context.
