Disregard all the bpms -- 20bpm is one beat every three seconds, which is a VERY long time. The hierarchy is correct but part of the performer's job as an interpreter is to make a decision based on feel, historical context and context within the piece. If the third movement of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata were actually performed at 200 bpm (which is impossible) it would last about 3.5-4 minutes instead of the 7 to 8.5 that feels natural.
