From his Times article of today:
Sherlock Holmes once, memorably, said to Dr Watson that when you rule out all the other options whatever is left, however disagreeable, must be the right course of action.

You can forgive people for getting quotes incorrect when they are talking and thinking on their feet - but to get the quote wrong for an article when it's just a Google away is ridiculous.
