It's not a hierarchy, it's just a list. Structural isn't meaningfully better than anything else. It just "works" for different reasons.

Intuitive is often faster to react and faster to get off the ground and producing results. So in a fight intuition is probably going to be better. That being said, supposedly the boxing fight that the movie 'cinderella man' was based off of involved Braddock analyzing Baer's fighting style and figuring out some foot work that kept him from getting pummeled. There's no reason that structural, intuitive, and social understanding can't all work together to get a result.

I misunderstood what you said as a hierarchy because of how you worded your last paragraph, but I would agree with you that synthesizing the different types of knowledge is the best way to interact with the world.
