I like the paragraph “my understanding” a lot. In particular, while I think I have some limited, flickering access to K5, I notice that operations which come out of being solidly K4 often cause me to outstrip/outperform people who are entirely in K5, which seems to me to be something analogous to “I’m successfully calculating the volumes of a bunch of spheres and you’re just stuck there mired in re-derivation.”
I’m not sure what it means to be entirely K5. To me the phrase sounds like Chapman’s description of the postmodernists who are at K3 and tried to skip K4 entirely and are without any real access to the ability to use a system.
Fair. “People who overwhelmingly operate from a thing where I’m comfortable applying the label K5,” where overwhelmingly means 90+% and comfortable means 90+%.

i.e. relative strengths in different domains.
