Haha I like your argument for the importance of the stages! Even though I didn't think of your reason, I also think the pyramid is in the right direction. I believe that knowledge is a base for the following stages. Even if the graduate students thought about the same document historically, I feel like they obtained the tools to think in that manner throughout their academic career. I don't really attribute it to the pyramid's direction.

I find the following quote to be a very important concept that relates to the successful acquisition of a discourse:
"While mastering new facts can help students see the world more intelligibly and formulate opinions, it doesn't necessarily follow that it will teach the students to think."
Just as the article states that history is more than just knowing facts, - it's also understanding the process and reconstructing the unknown with that which is known - I believe that all academic knowledge and otherwise rely on the learner's ability to apply the knowledge and manipulate it in ways that they can benefit from. This is true acquisition of a discourse, and displays that the process and application behind the knowledge is understood.
This is HUGE in the topic of psychology. Application is an important part of the psych. discourse. Practically every single test given in psychology requires the student to apply the knowledge to real-life situations. This is also why role play is such an important part of the psychology discourse. Practice applying skills (such as various counseling techniques) is what makes a skilled and fidelity-driven psychologist.
I'm interested in what academic subjects you all may think require more intense levels of application as it relates to thinking, understanding, and meaning making?
