That is very true. But at a company or a instituitional level, you may want to have two levels of authentication: 1) the initial "get me pass the front door" authentication, and 2) an on going authenthication that monitors your behavior to ensure that you "continue" to be the person that entered the door.
Actually, behavioral identification is already in practical use. Credit card companies use this to red flag transactions that many not be coming from the rightful owner based on his/her pass transasction patterns. And if so, it suspends the card until the owner calls in to confirm that the transactions are vaild.
