Snipped for brevity.

I was quite amused at the different learning levels, only because Bloom
developed a taxonomy of learning objectives decades ago, that go from
knowledge through analysis, synthesis and evaluation. There are also
taxonomies in the affective and psychomotor areas, in case anyone is
interested. Bloom's is well known and used in education and training and
development.

I wonder if there is indeed anything new under the sun <grin>.
