Most of our apparent values (which admittedly are complex) could easily be mere behavior [...] and therefore would be more willing to discard things that are on the fuzzy border between behaviors and values

Comparing "behaviour" and "values" as though they are the same sort of thing seems pretty strange.

It is probably best to think of those as different types of thing - and then there is no "fuzzy border".
