https://merangue.com/x5snu19qrn LOL, you replied correctly to six and a half out of the eight questions.

Absolutely correct! Only 1/2 question left. Why did Sherlock Holmes only wish the attic filled with tools that a person can use?

Astounding, the places Google will take you. What Sherlock Holmes could have done with it!
Fr. Ernesto Obregon says
Yes, Holmes was afraid that either his mind would fill up so that for every new fact and old fact would be thrown out by the brain (according to his first case) or that, as you quoted, the brain’s organization of the facts would become so jumbled so as to not be able to find the information needed in a timely manner.
Thus, to remember that the Earth rotates around the Sun he considered to be useless knowledge. Of course, his lack of knowledge of trigenometry, and the lack of convenient photographs at the time of the writing of the novels, meant that he was not aware that an outdoor photograph could yield to him the height of the person and possibly either the time of the year in which the photograph was taken or the possible rough location of the photograph, depending on what other information (such as shadow length, etc.) was present in that photograph (given the inclination of the sun at certain times of the year, etc., etc.).
But, Holmes deliberately refused to learn information that he thought would overly fill his mind with unnecessary facts.
