Sherlock Holmes used to say that a clue is just a clue, two clues are just two clues, but three clues make a proof.

Except that you can't really call things a clue if you're just looking for things to confirm your existing opinion. Any stance Hans could have had during that game could be construed as indication of him cheating.

You know Sherlock Holmes wasn't a real person, right? Saying that a fictional character "used to say" something is odd.
