In one of the Sherlock Holmes stories didn't he say to the effect that it did not matter to him whether the Earth went round the sun or the moon?
The first Sherlock Holmes story includes a long list of things Holmes knew and another one of things he didn't. In various later stories, Holmes is shown to have a detailed knowledge of things Watson said he was completely ignorant of. Which just shows (ObB7) the danger of writing a long series without a bible.
