* Evidence against: in 'The Adventure of the Musgrave Ritual' Holmes successfully solves a puzzle the solution to which was known only by people who were dead before Holmes ever got to the scene. Unless we posit that Holmes is not only a telepath but also a necromancer, the theory does not fit.

* There are also several stories where Holmes meets the villain early on but doesn't identify him as the villain until much later (most famously being 'The Hound of the Baskervilles'), which obviously wouldn't happen if Holmes were a telepath.
