Is detective Robert Goren ever wrong?
This post was deleted for the following reason: you really could have fleshed this out some more
Yes, he's been fooled/duped a few times, usually by his nemesis, Nicole Wallace.

Response by poster: I don't see what's wrong with the question. A good answer would be a cite of an episode where his profiling or guessing was way off.

Having worked briefly at CI, I have heard that V.D. doesn't like it when his character gets duped. He is, supposedly, a bit of a primadonna.

If he's ever wrong, I don't want to know.

It is SO annoying how he knows everything. Like that one episode where he just happened to know the Swahili word for midwife or something? Yeah right. Hate that guy.

Best answer: Nicole Wallace. Goren is fooled in "A Person of Interest" and "Slither," and is defeated/thwarted in "Person.." and "Great Barrier."

There's wrong and there's Wrong. Goren and Eames have gone down dead-end paths on many episodes before redirecting their attentions, or initially pursued a suspect they believed was acting alone or was in charge when in fact there was some other mastermind.
I saw a re-run the other day, Scared Crazy. They initially pursue the theory that the dead man was targeted because of some illicit work activities, then perhaps industrial espionage. Only late into the episode does it take a turn and they discover there's a whole other mastermind guilty of entirely different criminal behavior.
So, has Goren ever been Wrong as in pursue an innocent person? Not too far, though I seem to recall and episode where they end up with someone in custody and being charged who is not the real Bad Guy, though that's a conscious decision on the part of the ADA. Do they ever go down dead-end roads or get stymied, or are they misled for some period of time? Sure.
