But he's fallible in canon as well. Irene Adler is maybe his most memorable defeat, but he was also incorrect in "The Adventure of the Yellow Face" and at the end of it, there's this quote:

"Watson, if it should ever strike you that I am getting a little overconfident in my powers, or giving less pains to a case than it deserves, kindly whisper 'Norbuary' in my ear, and I shall be infinitely obliged to you."

Full disclosure, I only ever read one of the short stories a long, long time ago because I found the character insufferable.

... oh. That's a pretty big judgement to make based off a single story, but different strokes, I guess. I suspect if you actually read more of the stories, you'd get a more complete picture of Sherlock Holmes as a character.

You're free to dislike what you dislike, of course, but I don't think you're very well equipped to tell how fallible or infallible the adaptations are making him since you don't know much about the character, period.

Christie nicked Poirot's "chocolate box" from Doyle? Heh. Cool.

Christie nicked quite a lot from Doyle, tbh. Hastings is just Jam!Watson.*
