People really watch Benoit Blanc movies without having ever encountered any detective fiction other than Sherlock Holmes and feel fully qualified to comment on the connections that they think they've made.

Remember the terrible articles in the late 90s that repetitively and confidently asserted that Rowling had invented YA fantasy, or low fantasy, because they didn't bother to check a single library or bookstore?

My favorite recent one is romantasy folks thinking Fourth Wing are the first telepathic dragons ever....

Coming from a childhood of endless Enid Blyton and YA reading Sherlock, Poirot, Wimsey, Marple, and Maigret, the lack of context and intertextuality, it burns!
