Asimov and "Five Orange Pips" by Conan Doyle

[pnerd]

In his autobiography, Isaac Asimov wrote,

A couple of years ago, I wrote (by request) a critique of the Sherlock Holmes story "The Five Orange Pips" and pointed out the gaping holes in its logic, which led me to think Conan Doyle had written it while asleep.

Have anyone of you read that piece by Asimov? What are the "gaping holes" that he is referring to here?

I've not read that one, but it apparently was one of a series of essays writers were asked to do on Holmes tales for the collection The Baker Street Dozen:

So, presumably, if you can find a copy of the book....

EDIT: Looks like this is the one:
