If so, the universal applicability of this graph fails.

The last 5% (usually towards the end) consists of a bunch of courses about things you already know/have experienced. In my case, it turned out that a majority of my classes were cross-listed with higher level undergrad classes that I already took. Which, for me, makes this chart 100% correct.

I think it's more about not caring about the school and learning than it is not caring about the field you're in, but that's just my take on the graph.
