One thing I think gets forgotten when people mention this story is that one reason Holmes gets excited is Watson actually understands what he's trying to do with the experiment. Clearly he's not on Holmes' level but Holmes is happy to find someone to room with that's not a complete idiot (which is one reason I get upset about adaptations that make Watson into a buffoon...).
