Episode 404 - Bohemian Alternatives

Sherlock Holmes's reasoning in 'A Scandal in Bohemia' left room for a huge error.

“She responded beautifully” [SCAN] 

Occasionally — very occasionally — there are flaws in Sherlock Holmes's reasoning. Or, if not flaws, then something that doesn't quite hold up when we put our own magnifying lens against it.

There is one such example in "A Scandal in Bohemia," as pointed out by a listener. One we had never considered before, but one that is just a Trifle.
