To be frank, the piece “Developing Things: Notes toward an Epistemology of Building in the Digital Humanities” by Rockwell and Ramsay did not do much for me.  I felt that the article was really vague and not blatantly insightful. While there were undoubtedly points that were beyond me, I feel that if somebody has a good point to make, it will generally be clear to the reader.

Was one point of this to decide if digital tools can be theories? They already stated that in the humanities sense “theory” is an adapted term from the classic scientific sense, so are the semantics really that important? I guess it just seems that whatever point they are arguing has little effect on what the results of any research would be.

I agree with DR that much of this “went right over my head”.
