Please explain difficulty levels

Hi,
I noticed that there are difficulty levels assigned to boot camp lessons, although the vast majority are labeled easy. I really could not make heads or tails of what that means. For example, the intermediate level block chord lessons mostly are all 'easy', the intermediate left hand only broken chord lessons are 'easy, and even the three lessons (Sonata 11, Counting Stars, and Fallin) with the left hand playing broken chords / arpeggios and the R hand playing a simple melody are 'easy'. Another example: "Bring Me to Life" consists of two chords, one in root, one in second inversion, is 8 bars in whole notes at 100 BPM, changes every other measure, only uses the left hand. It is ranked as intermediate hard. "Fallin" is 18 measures of two chords in three inversions, changes every measure, arpeggiates the left hand, has a right hand melody, the whole thing is 192 BPM in eighths at 6/8 and is marked as intermediate easy. I'm just confused. Do these levels mean anything to the end user?
