Sherlock is a Mary Sue bad rear end bullshit character. Christie actively hated the poo poo out of Poirot, it's why he's a more interesting character.

In the earlier stories there is some vague pretense of Holmes not being a magic superhero wizard (like the idiot-savant characterization that was introduced in the first story and then immediately dropped) and they're generally a lot better for it. After the Holmes stories became famous and successful they got super lazy and terrible.
