Sherlock is always right only because he's the protagonist. That's what always annoyed me.

I tried reading sherlock holmes and it annoyed me how sure he was of every observation. Like guessing someone's height to the millimeter from distances between steps.

Easiest way to commit a crime and never get caught by him would be wearing clown shoes while you do it.
