Simple. If the abilities to perceive and act matter more than those pesky, diaphanous, we-can't-se-inside-them-so-we'll-deny-their-efficacy-like-Skinnerians brains (and in fact perception and action matter completely in your model, and cognition not at all), then the airhead jock woith razor-sharp perceptions should be able to theoretically run poor Stephen into the ground.
