Fanfic pet peeve: Watson is not an idiot... I hate when writers do that. Sherlock is way smarter than him, yes. However, Watson’s not dumb. A toddler is not smarter than a fucking grown man even if they are a genius and would probably out paced him, just not then.... John’s IQ maybe is on the 125–135 range which means his IQ is on the five percentile. He’s a doctor for crying out loud. You know how hard it is to be a doctor In the UK, very hard. It's a cutthroat competitive environment.
