Science is much worse at figuring out what is right because it’s method of determining what is right is “Of all the possible hypotheses, we’ll eliminate the wrong ones and choose the most probably of what exists”.
Someone should write a Sherlock script, where someone uses Sherlock’s principle: “when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth,” against him, so that he decisively takes the wrong action.
It was done by Doyle himself.
In 1898 he published two short stories—“The Lost Special” and “The Man with the Watches”, where “an amateur reasoner of some celebrity” participates in solving a crime mystery and fails.
It was written after Doyle killed off Sherlock, so he is probably parodying the character—he was quite tired with him at the time.
