What I love about affordance is that it provides a much more
   obvious explanation of why we do things.

   There's an excellent example involving catching a baseball (or a
   dog catching a frisbee) that helps visualize it) from Lakoff.

   I found this article which is short that goes over it:
   https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/cognition-without-borders/201207/the-embodied-cognition-the-baseball-outfielder

   It's a little different than how Lakoff said it but it's close
   enough to get the idea across; that we're not doing MATH but
   rather putting OUR BODIES in the proper positioning so that the
   environment appears normal to achieve the purpose we wish to
   achieve.
