Evidently we do not agree as to the meaning of the word "gesture". To me,
it means a physical performance gesture, like bowing a fiddle, or an analog
thereof, like touching a pad. Therefore, a gesture can control more than
one parameter at the same time (as a fiddle bow controls both volume and
vibrato, and even timbre depending on how near the bridge it is; or when an
x-y controller is used). Futhermore, obviously more than one gesture can
occur at the same time, as when a guitarist slams the whammy bar and steps
on a wah-wah pedal. The requirement for gestural control is to represent a
high volume of multi-parametric control data that is assigned to one or
more specific voices, unit generators, or instruments or sets of
instruments.

i don't believe that this is a valid example of
"gesturing". gesturing, on my understanding, refers to a situation
where you wish to set more than parameter at the same time, even
though the events/messages describing these changes are inevitably
serialized. hardware control surfaces don't generate gestures. script
files (such as a Csound score file) do.
