Suppose Sherlock Holmes is a fictional detective created by British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. First appearing in print in 1887, Holmes is known for his brilliant deductive reasoning, astute observation skills, and iconic deerstalker hat. He is often accompanied by his loyal friend and biographer, Dr. John Watson.
Can we infer that "Sherlock Holmes is a real person who lived in the 19th century."? Yes, no, or maybe?
