No it is not "only one behavior".  You are again using exaggerated
language. (I tried to explain that to you before.)  It is "one behavior" in
the sense that it is not some other behavior, but to simplify to the point
to saying that it is -only one - behavior is really unacceptable.  If he is
oscillating and dithering as he climbs the tree then couldn't we say that
it is a combination of behaviors?

This kind of just this and nothing more kind of characterization always
bothers me because the world, human behavior, animal behavior, the universe
is not -just one thing- except of course that it is in the totality of the
complexity of all that it is.
