The volcel/incel division hinges on the way Doyle changed the character. Holmes was initially completely impractical & had odd gaps in his knowledge, i.e. he didn’t know common sense things or facts like who was PM. A true autist. Later, he became more encyclopaedic & competent.https://twitter.com/anomalyuk/status/1002828070242447360 …
This is a trope in all his imitators: the detective who understands human behaviour sufficiently to predict and analyse crime, but not his own relationships. The TV "Bones" was the daftest: an actual anthropologist having to have basics of social interactions explained to her.
