I have been to 221B Baker St and can confirm seeing Sherlock Holmes there. Admittedly it was a mannequin so may not be living there exactly but he was definitely there. I also saw the Post Box DangerMouse lives in nearby. No sign that that clever rodent was actually there I grant you, but no immediate proof he wasn't there either.
I found this article very useful, perhaps because it helps deal with the quality of arguments. I have an additional undefinable if recognisable quality in mind that I have notionally called a 'Truth Compass', as in the aid to navigation. Some might call it a lodestone, a good tool complementary with celestial navigation. This seems something more than a useful metaphor. I have in mind the example of Polynesian ancient ocean navigation; the seriousness, the knowledgeable agreed strategy and strict adherence as possible to wide observation to close in on the point (island) of true arrival. And I think this 'compass' includes a knowledgeable view of error.
Just for the record.

I'm looking forward to more articles.
