Or maybe, and I'm just throwing this out there, they *don't care*. Maybe 
they're perfectly capable of recognising that 21st century BG isn't 1970s 
BG, but are capable of appreciating them both on their own merits.

I don't think Sherlock fits into continuity with the original Sherlock 
Holmes stories, or with the Jeremy Brett series, because it's blindingly 
obvious it doesn't, but I still like it. And it makes sense to call it 
Sherlock, in a way that making it about a detective called William McHenry 
wouldn't.
