My claim is that there is a 5th category to the Pardes acronym. We know of pshat, remez, drush, and sod. There's also the level of the level of psychology Yannai is describing the false self of the narcissist, who dresses as a perushi, but behaves like a zimri menuval. A different analysis, Yitzhak is not merely describing the physical characteristics of yaakov in costume. He's talking about the cognitive dissonance between the spoken voice of the old yaakov, the Torah sage and the new one, the thief, ie the hands of eisav.
