The relationship between Sherlock and John are pretty ambiguous. Sherlock is a clear show-off person. He's very enjoy it when people compliment his intellect and he takes pleasure in confirming that he is more clever than others around him. Watson is the few people who compliment his abilities as well as allowing Sherlock to be himself.
The most interesting semiotic plays here is pill. Way to kill: put the pill in front of each victim and gun pointed at them. Then talk about philosophy, finally they would choice poison. Principle: victims would choose medicine cause they all doesn't want to die and they thought this was an opportunity to live. They wouldn't dare to choose, like sherlock said: "there's 50% chance that such a random." Tis is a life and death choice. Victims would choose poison cause it made simply psychological collapse. Victims would be thinking under extreme heavy pressure. (The taxi driver holding a gun pointed at your head and still chatting philosophical questions.) Under taxi driver's hint, would they think this was a heavy trap? Holmes chose the right medicine according to the above analysis. The key to be choose right cause Holmes is smart. The first step is to overcome his fears. His advantage was he saw the gun is fake. The second step he did was not fall into the trap. After taxi driver continues to hint, normal people would go crazy but Sherlock easily understand that the key of his way to murder. So that's why sherlock can chose the right pill.
