Spot on, lizard drinking.
Have personally watched a few F/O's call 'altitude capture" when in fact the aeroplane was still climbing/descending.
No capture at all.
When I point this out, their response is....'well, it was supposed to capture.'

These guys really have absolutely no idea what the aeroplane is doing, simply because they fail to observe.
And it's not their fault, 'tis the fault of the respective airline training department and the nonsense that prevails therefrom.
