Actually, I think the difference is that Watson catalogues large areas that Holmes knows absolutely nothing about, whereas between Avon and Blake they're convinced that Avon knows everything (f'rex Blake's cheery confidence in Avon's ability to master brain surgery).
Who said Avon would do it ? Either Blake would insist on doing it himself in the way he keeps barging Jenna out of the way and piloting the ship himself or he'd delegate it to Vila.
Actually, I think the Holmes/ Watson analogy breaks down given that it is not, at any point, recorded that Holmes snogged Moriarty or flung Watson off the Reichenbach Falls.

Tentatively I approached the strange contraption in the middle of the room. It was made of wood and steel and a piece of cheese was placed delicately in the centre. "Be careful Watson" counselled Holmes urgently, "It's a trap".
