I think your interpretation of that paragraph makes sense.
You lost me with your argument though: I'm not familiar with any of the concepts you're using. "Cardinal virtues" was easy enough to search for—I knew I'd end up having to read The Republic eventually, but have honestly been dreading it!—but I wasn't able to find "ladder of virtues," and am not sure what you mean by the three/five/six/seven "levels", "physical virtues", "virtues of habit", etc.
