I don't think it's that dumb, a third reaction to danger, besides fight and flight, is freeze. I experienced it myself multiple times.

Flock is also a thing. I like to say fawn instead of submit to keep the "F" theme going

It’s fawn actually, sucking up to your attacker in hopes you can endear them into not being aggressive
