    Joe Montana was a star athlete in rural Pennsylvania in the early 70's. How old are you, Gene?

      I know who Joe Montana is. What I don't get is why people are coming here after searching for that string.

But then on page 186 I find: "Asking cognition, however, to give a perspective on the relationship between cognition and affect is like asking astronomer in the pre-Galilean geocentric world, whether, in his opinion, the sun moves round the earth of the earth around the sun.
