I apologize, but during that time we just were so disillusioned by heros, we couldn't bear them in our fiction. So we invented the "deeply flawed good guy hero".

Invented? Lol,

Dude is a super genius finding clues where others can't whose name starts with an H with a close friend and companion whose name starts W.

Should they have just kept Holmes and Watson instead of House and Wilson to make it clear that it is Sherlock Holmes M.D.?

Oh wow also "homes" (Holmes) vs "house" really makes it less subtle than I thought...

I don't remember it but apparently even House's address is Baker Street 221b

Oh wow the more I find out, the more tacky I feels.

Isn't Holmes usually quite polite? Plus he's supposed to be unusually physically strong.
