The article goes in depth about the case of humanities academics who have turned to coding in order to build their credibility but have been questioned in the idea of how scholarly their work is. Digital humanities have been working to build onto theories for years in order to explain phenomena in the humanities subject. These theories are built  “as hermeneutical instruments through which we can interpret other phenomena. Digital artifacts like tools could then be considered as “telescopes for the mind” that show us something in a new light.” In essence these digital artifacts and theories are not concrete items but are floating ideas can than cut to the core of the biggest questions in the humanities. Rather than dismissing these theories as lacking credibility there needs to be an equal amount of credibility on the reader to analyze the source. The internet is fair game and people will use it to their advantage as classmate MG says “we should assume credibility with a certain amount of doubt that allows us to critically examine the work before assuming its validity.”
