lol. Though that's possible too, for someone to interpret things differently. That's getting more into anthropology though, I think.

Coventry was a city that was destroyed during WWII. The myth is that Churchill's spies had cracked the German code and knew that it was going to be destroyed, but didn't say anything to keep the Germans in the dark about knowing the code. Sheridan mentions it as an example of some secrets having too high a cost. Sherlock mentions it as he realizes what Mycroft is doing, and he gets taken to the plane to see all the already dead people that would be 'killed' when it was supposed to be bombed.

And the conversation happened during the watchalong, just after Sheridan talked about it. <3 Sheesh, am I the only one with a memory around here?
