Divine Infinity Heaps Light on Divine Simplicity

He doesn't deliberate over whether to dodge a tackler rather than sliding, and then choose to dodge him, and then dodge him. People who are good at handling infants don't mull over, then decide, then soothe, they just do it. How can divine infinity shed light on divine simplicity? Did I say that right?
