Not a worthwhile article. Complains that it's unfair to call anyone "arguably the greatest" at something (Einstein for physics) because the author prefers unconventional choices (Kepler), that history of physics is dominated by history of mathematical physics, that the philosophy of science is dominated by the philosophy of physics, and that even having the discussion perpetuates the myth of the lone genius. He doesn't actually argue for or against these, just bemoans them.
