What is Adrian Johns’ main critique of Eisenstein’s argument and what does he say to explain and substantiate his point? (Summarize in your own words, 1 or 2 paragraphs).

How does he interpret the examples of Tycho Brahe and Galileo, e.g., what do they think they illustrate instead? Note that this part is an explicit comparison with Eisenstein. (1-2 paragraphs each.)
