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.
That's why Batman is the best he uses ~~AI~~ The Batcomputer which totally isn't cooled by an aquifer feeding Gotham.
