Explicit yes, implicit no.

Because implicitly,
they hide the Newton law laying behind them,
that was waiting to be discovered.

Kepler laws are inaccurate, up to useless in 3 body cases,
like in case of an asteroid,
orbiting the Sun near the Jupiter orbit.

But Newton law describes its irregular orbit well,
in context of classical physics.
