Now hold on a mo'. Dr. John Hamish Watson, late of His Majesty's service and
friend of Mr. Sherlock Holmes was a physician, not a technical communicator.
In fact, Holmes chided him often for not writing his adventures more
technically correct. The only technical communicator in literature that I
could suggest, with a bit of latitude, was Isaac Asimov.
