Detection is, or ought to be, an exact science and should be treated in the same cold and unemotional manner.

More from Arthur Conan Doyle
"Spiritualism is the religion of the future, the answer to the modern world's curse of materialism."
"I consider that a man's brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose."
"The greatest danger in life is to be too safe."
"We are all pilgrims on a journey."
"It is not my intention to be fulsome, but I confess that I feel the most profound respect for the man for whom no mystery is too abstruse, and no problem too intricate."
About Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930)
Scottish physician and author whose Sherlock Holmes (created 1887) became the most-portrayed literary character in film and television history. Closely associated with G.K. Chesterton (Father Brown detective creator and Edwardian contemporary) and Wilkie Collins (earlier detective-fiction predecessor (The Moonstone)). For an intellectual contrast, see Harry Houdini, American escape artist and skeptic — Houdini publicly debunked the spiritualist mediums Doyle endorsed; Doyle insisted Houdini was secretly using real psychic powers. Their 1920s friendship-then-feud is the cleanest 'magician's debunking vs Sherlock-Holmes-author's credulity' irony in cultural history — the rationalist's creator believed the impossible.
