The same reasons as for the discussions of the note mostly cut out of the Times (London) in the same story, Henry Baker's hat in 'The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle,' and Grant Munro's pipe in 'The Yellow Face.' It is also why Sherlock Holmes would always take the current facts and try to make some sense out of them while waiting for further developments. Holmes was very much impatient when it came to solving cases, and he just wanted to solve the puzzle as quickly as possible.
Holmes also took a certain joy in dramatically revealing something that was a total mystery to others while, at the same time, he seemed to be trying to teach Watson how to do it himself.

How is Mrs Stapleton innocent in The Hound of the Baskervilles?
I provide two reasons. First, she was found whipped, bruised, and bound to a beam after the hound is killed, indicating she was less than cooperative with her brother at least on that night. Then this: "On the morning after the death of the hound the fog had lifted and we were guided by Mrs Stapleton to the point where they had found a path way through the bog. It helped us to realize the horror of this woman's life when we saw the eagerness and joy with which she laid us on her husband's track." -- Dr. Watson, 'The Hound of the Baskervilles'

It is not possible to live more than a few weeks without food. If anyone says they have then they are trying to con you. Naturally people do not have to do their eating in front of anyone so this is the type of story that people make up for their own reasons. Remember, if they'll lie to you about this, what else will they lie about?
