I love Sherlock Holmes, especially The Hound of the Baskervilles but with reservations. His reliance on Physiognomy in the early stories for a start but maybe Holmes himself became disillusioned with the theory as research progressed and Conan Doyle himself was famously taken in by schoolgirls over the Cottingley Fairies business. I'm not saying CD was a dolt but I don't think I ever heard him called a tested genius although Holmes claims an IQ of 190. And then there's Moriarty...
So can a merely bright person (convincingly) write a genius character?
