All true, and yet! I'm quite happy to read stories in which Mycroft says something of the "...but I'm just a simple civil servant" variety, as long as it's clear that's not what he really is.

Don't you think, though, that Mycroft's "McGuffin-ness' predated this current incarnation of Sherlockiana? ACD himself seemed quite happy for Mycroft to know everything ("All other men are specialists, but his specialism is omniscience.") as long as Mycroft's omniscience was in service to the Great Detective. :)
