@hand-of-hecate saidIn fact to explain something evident (for the explainer) and stating it should be evident for the explainee is a typical Sherlockian behaviour. In fact that is why I am so turned off by the books, since Sherlock does explain something the reader (and evidently Dr. Watson) could not have an inkling of, as if it would be as plain as "the sky is blue" jsust to make clear his superiority.
Sherlock would have had to take an arrow through his brain for me to be justified in comparing VR to him.
