Although Craig does not develop the point, here he touches on the idea that the evaluative payoff of a suspicious explanation will be a product of the valuations which particular communities accept, or can be brought to accept. So, for example, a genealogy that uncovers racist sentiments and programs within the historical career of a political party could be ‘subversive’ for an audience dedicated to racial equality and ‘vindicatory’ for a racist audience.
