Correct.
An example would be a *non* performance model. 100k years ago, people
would tell other people in the tribe there was a bear in the berry
patch! This was certainly a meme, which would in short order spread out to
everyone in the tribe. It resulted in non-performance of the act of going
to the berry patch.
