I'd like to reflet about the famouse "method of the deduction of Sherlock Holmes". Maybe in some other books mentioned about this method, but in "The hound of the Baskervilles" says about it only few words. And what is this famous method of the deduction?
I think that the main idea of this method is the logic. Yes. Sherlock Holmes is a very clever man. And I think that his deductive method is based on two principles:
1. We have a lot of facts and evidences, and based on this, the picture of a crime is based.
2. Sherlock is looking for a person who complies with this picture.
I'll say it againe that Sherlock is very clever man. Anyone can't find offender on this method. I'm sure, that we haven't so mind and resourcefullnes. And Sherlock can link all minor facts and build the picture of a crime.
If you want to have this method you should know everythig about criminalistics, you should determine the character of man in his headwriting. Your brain should be as a computer. Sharlock can "download" some information in his brain and "delete, format" some information.
I think that you, as me, understood what method of the deduction is. Maybe there is a person with this method somewhere, but today I don't know him.
