Price-maker firms never want to produce within the inelastic part of the demand curve because there are few acceptable product substitutes, and a shorter adjustment period, which may impact overall production in a negative manner.

Why is it difficult to judge elasticity of demand or supply if you are merely observing the appearance of a demand or supply curve on a graph?

Because it is basically curved shape, therefore, there are points/areas on the curve where the demand or supply will be elastic and on some other parts be inelastic. At the top of the curve, demand/supply tends to be inelastic and at the bottom of the curve, it tends to be elastic. Obviously, the more you go up the more we reach the perfectly inelastic demand/supply and the further you go down the curve, the more you reach the perfectly elastic demand/supply
