There are actually several stories (including a stage play that once had the great Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwick combo) that play with that idea, arguing that they are in fact, the same person. They do this by pointing out that in Holmes canon, Watson never once met Moriarty and just has to take Holmes' word for it.

I've noticed that the great thieves of history were usually skilled craftsmen and tradesmen before they became criminals. And often, it's less the skill itself and more the committment to learning skills that makes them dangerous. Until they ultimately are brought low by someone's inability to delay gratification. I wonder if there's a lesson for game designers in there?
