  Some work in EOCS has developed analogies between computer simulation and the kinds of knowledge producing practices Burge associates with entitlement. (See especially Barberousse and Vorms, 2014, and Beisbart, 2017.) This is, in some ways, a natural outgrowth of Burge’s arguments that we view computer assisted proofs in this way (1998). Computer simulations are extremely complex, often the result of the epistemic labor of a diverse set of scientists and other experts, and perhaps most importantly, epistemically opaque (Humphreys, 2004).  Because of these features, Beisbart argues that it is reasonable to treat computer simulations in the same way that we treat our senses and the testimony of others: simply as things that can be trusted on the assumption that everything is working smoothly. (Beisbart, 2017).
