WTF is wrong with people. I watched one of her videos, and I saw a mind a work. It definitely didn't occur to me to question her credentials or abilities - they were plain to see.
I see that Dale has issued an apology, but the damage has been done, and will continue anyway. When you contribute to bullshit there are ongoing consequences and no apology will make those consequences disappear. I know I'm going to be approaching my support for him and Make in general with much more skepticism and trepidation moving forward.

This is contrasted against more passive thinking. For example, complaining about something instead of actually doing something about it.

The article concerns the slander that these projects aren't hers; that she is merely a mascot presenting the work of her (male, engineer) boyfriend. To notice "a mind at work" in the videos, is to suggest that the videos are her authentic work.
