As a member in good standing of two chapters of the BSI (meaning my dues to both are fully paid), I am compelled to point out that Holmes wasn’t particularly good at deduction. He was primarily an abductive reasoner.
The evidence that he didn’t do well with deduction can be found above.

Quote:Sherlock Holmes famously quipped: "There is nothing in which deduction is so necessary as in religion," said he, leaning with his back against the shutters. "It can be built up as an exact science by the reasoner.Our highest assurance of the Goodness of Providence seems to me to rest in the flowers. All other things, our powers, our desires, our food, are all really necessary for our existence in the first instance. But this rose is an extra. Its smell and its color are an embellishment of life, not a condition of it. It is only a Goodness which gives extras, and so I say again that we have much to hope for from the flowers.”
