"Sherlock Holmes lives at 221B Baker Street, London" is a dictum often used in fiction theory. The sentence is said to be problematic because Sherlock Holmes never lived anywhere:he was never alive, he is just a fictional character. The proposition is thus untrue, false. Yet in ordinary language, we have no problem in accepting this statement at face value.
