A horizontal load line will keep an otherwise linear tube from operating in the non-linear region found to the right of the operating point. With a diagonal load line, when the current falls and the voltage rises, the tube is allowed to get into the non-linear part of the plate curves where the curves "bunch" up. The voltage does not rise as fast as it should. For example, if a one volt increase at the grid causes a 10 volt decrease at the plate, a one volt decrease at the grid should cause a 10 volt increase at the plate. With a horizontal load line this is much more likely to happen. All one needs to do is look at some plate curves and this will be obivious.Tre'
P.S. Dan, I am more or less just restating what you said.
