The point here isn't that alleged two levels of truth may cover several specific truths within their own sphere but that only two levels or categories of truths are posited.

So if you posit 'Four Noble Truths' and you posit 'two levels of truth' then you have to decide to which level of the two these 'Four Noble Truths' do belong and once you assign these 'Four Noble Truths' to one of the two levels of truth everything you expound in the context of this level of truth must apply to these 'Four Noble Truths' too.
