The entire premise of this books bugs me. Supposedly a [[Retcon]] of the Final Problem, this has Watson saying that he essentially spared Sherlock Holmes's blushes and his cocaine addiction by ''libelling a relatively innocent maths professor as a murderer and organiser of all the criminal activity in London''.

* It's just a [[Fix Fic]]. Would it be reasonable to expect making ''prefect'' sense from a [[Fixer Sue]] + [[Possession Sue]] fic built around two messages brought by the prevailing political winds? And done not just by anyone, but an author from the show most famous for [[Explosive Instrumentation|exploding consoles]] and variety of plot-driven goof. Seriously, i'd be amazed if all ends were neatly tied.
