Naive? Why? And even if it's true, so what?
I don't really want to argue about that not to sound disrespectful, but that is often a good excuse for Hollywood-actor-style womanizers. I don't respect people who change their partners often except for reasons like if they cheated, committed a serious crime etc. I don't buy the argument of "freedom" and "I just feel like changing a partner not to be bored".
You sound like a virgin now...

Apart from the fact that some people want Shiho to be involved with Shinichi romantically at Ran's expenses, I don't have anything against her, would even liked her as a character quite a lot, if only those ideas of kicking out Ran and replacing her with Shiho as Shinichi's girlfriend were not so annoying. In my opinion, dumping the first love for somebody else is always a bad idea.
You sound pretty naive for a 28 year old.

Whenever we see Ran cooking something she is almost always in her school uniform. I wonder if this is because the animators/Gosho are too lazy to draw her wearing different clothes, or is it because Ran just doesn't have the time to change into her everyday clothes before starting to cook. Or maybe she enjoys cooking in her uniform, god knows why.
Funny little detail.

Movies don't create psychos, movies make psychos more creative. -
And the point of this thread is ?

Doesn't Sherlock try to avoid learn things that he considers to be useless to his work as a detective ? He didn't know that the earth orbits the sun, and when Watson told him he made sure he forgot it. On the other hand Shinichi/Conan has knowledge about practically anything, this allows him a wide range of action.
So, you are judging a book character based on his TV interpretation? I suggest you to read some Sherlock Holmes books before commenting on the character.
That's like saying Explorer is better than Chrome because it came before Chrome.
I'm not going to take a firm stance on this issue since this topic can be argued effectively both ways.
Holmes might be better in that he's the more realistic detective.
Shinichi might be better in that he solves cases at a much faster rate.
It all depends on preference, really.
Shinichi is basically created as an overpowered character in accordance with the shounen genre's characteristics, that's one of the main reasons that makes him popular among the shounen fans ( like the majority of this site) . So, it's no surprise that he solves the cases faster.
As a vivid fan of both characters, I'd say Sherlock Holmes. And not just because I read all of his stories more than 59 times, but it is also because he is the forefather of all fictional detectives..Think about it like this, without Holmes there wouldn't be DC at all...since DC is inspired by SH....Though after SH my favorite is Kudo Shinichi, but then again this is my opinion..
Even though you read Sherlock Holmes stories more than 59 times you are wrong too. C. Auguste Dupin is the forefather of all fictional detectives, not Sherlock Holmes.

And you can't know for sure that if there were no Sherlock then there wouldn't be DC either. DC might as well have been inspired by another fictional detective, like Kindaichi did.
It's absurd to compare Sherlock Holmes to Shinichi/Conan in the first place anyway. Especially when there are few people who actually read Sherlock Holmes here. Then again, it's not surprising.

My top 3 episodes are;
Caught Up with the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases ( The second part of the episode was simply amazing and a nice break from the murderer with a lame motive, the first part was the usual Conan stuff though)
Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night (Best BO episode ever, nuff said)
The Locked Room in the Sky: Shinichi Kudo's First Case (It's great to see Shinichi solving a case in his own body, the setting being a plane makes the case more interesting)
And as a bonus my top 3 AO episodes are;
The Invisible Weapon, Ran's First Investigation ( It's interesting to see Ran solve a case for a change)
The Uncontrollable Rental Car (Nice Speed inspired episode)
Courtroom Confrontation: Kisaki vs Kogoro (A nice change of pace from the usual murder solving )

Sorry for the one-liner, but well, you said that his behavior isn't self-defeating in your opinion and I referred to this specific point of yours, explaining why it indeed is.
Did I say that?
-
And James Black's actions are more than just self-defeating if he would be Anokata, it would be a behavior that's bluntly self-destructive for the Organization. He didn't do anything for the Organization's sake, there were not even hints indicating so, but he did and supported a lot of operations doing exactly the opposite and he knows a lot of sensitive things about the protagonists (like Ai's whereabouts and that she's referred to as Sherry
as well as that Akai is alive
), which would be fatal for the "good guys" if he were Anokata. But rather than repeating all of the counterarguments for James Black as Anokata, I just lazily link to Chekhov's post about him (and other characters) who are most likely not the boss: The first spoiler box of this text.
Since we all know James Black is not the Anokata I don't know what you are explaining for.
-
Anokata being Shinichi's dad or mom, Agase, Vermouth, Gin, Akai, Jack Black, Yoko Okino, Toichi Kuroba, Haibara's mom or dad, Ran's dad or mom...
These are all wild theories wth no real evidence to back them up and just created by thinking "the identity of the Boss must be a twist that no one saw coming". Just because it is hard to guess doesn't mean it doesn't have a logic that fits a certain pattern.
I will start my reasoning by posting the obvious and necessary link, since many people ignore the facts; http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/The_Boss_of_the_Black_Organization#Known_canon_information
Now, since the impression we got so far points towards the gender of the Anokata being a he rather than a she, I'll assume the Anokata is a he.
My theory is that the Anokata is one the people that were introduced in the same chapter that Vermouth first appeared.
Those characters are;
Naomichi Mugikura, anchorman for Nichiuri TV.
Yoshiharu Tawara, university professor.
Yasuo Mihei, baseball team owner.
Naoya Tarumi, music producer.
What these characters have in common that they all dress in black, since it was a memorial, and all of them are figures of power. These traits are definitely identifiable with the Anokata.
What's more, since this certain chapter has many memorable events it's viable for the Anokata to have made an appearance.
Among those characters Naomichi Mugikura is the more likely candidate, since he made multiple appearences, but you never know.Last but not least, Yoshiharu Tawara is a university professor just like Sherlock Holmes' archnemesis, Professor Moriarty.
Why do some people not like Shiho ?
