In any case, I don't take much credance any way as to whether the best detective relinqushed reason or not.
That was the assessment of his younger brother in a scene at their family dinner table.
Perhaps he subordinated truth to family loyalty and personal admiration.
I dunno if he really
IS their best detective.
Definitionally, he is whatever the author
WANTS him to be.

it isn't real so the characters will end up doing whatever makes the show more interesting rather than realistic.
By the act of telling a story,
an author becomes a god,
ex officio,
ex cathedra.
He is the god of that mental universe that sprang from his mind
and its author defines reality, in this story and in
ALL stories;
like Athena, thay spring full armed from the mind of Zeus (or from their author).
Many people have taken satisfaction in fictional art.
Do u prefer factually accurate renditions of historically
genuine events ?
