[lit-ideas] is it possible to say that which can't be said?

Sorry to barge into this discussion, Richard et al, but to this semi-
philosophical mind the following utterance appears to be tautologous:

> Wittgenstein: "that of which we cannot speak, of that we should remain
> silent" 

well, if we can't speak of it, it wouldn't be much to say, would 
there? shouldn't wittgenstein have gone further:

? That of which we cannot speak, we MUST remain silent

stay well,

-tor
