How can the Holmes brothers be wrong?
In "The Empty Hearse", the Holmes brothers play a deduction game. They were trying to deduce the characteristics of the the owner of a woollen bobble hat. They both(?) agree that he is single.
But when Sherlock met him later the cap owner said he has a girlfriend. So how can the master of deduction be wrong?
Best Answer
We don't know the brothers were wrong.
At no point do we see any evidence of a girlfriend. The hat's owner claims he has one, but he might do this because he doesn't want to be perceived as a sad loner which is what he looks like. So we actually have no evidence that the brothers' deductions are wrong.
