Sherlock: “Really? I correctly anticipated the responses of people I know well to scenarios I devised? Can’t everyone do that?”
Yes. Literally everyone can do that.
Sherlock: “Really? I correctly anticipated the responses of people I know well to scenarios I invented through careful and complex thought? Can’t everyone do that?”
So Sherlock can run mental simulations and know what’s going to happen ahead of time? No! That would be crazy! Completely out of nowhere! It’s not like that’s exactly what Sherlock said he was doing at the end of The Abominable Bride when he told Watson about a future world and how they might fit into it. It’s not like The Abominable Bride ended in the mind palace simulation, Victorian Holmes looking into the future he devised for him and Watson.
I don’t share all of these ideas, but I hadn’t noticed Sherlock’s death dates on CAM’s profile before reading this, so… interesting.
Honestly, there are So. Many. things wrong with CAM’s profiles that I literally find it hard to look at them. I still remember feeling embarrassed for the writers when I realized that Sherlock’s “there’s a lot” list was only six items on an infinite loop… but those profiles just keep giving and giving. They can’t be THAT full of errors and inconsistencies accidentally, but I can’t think of a reason why they would be like this.
