that LW later went beyong the TLP is true ... as a vague generality.
but, since we are talking specifically about TLP 5.6, the question is
whether LW ever transcended this particular insight. can you cite a
passage from PI (or any work subsequent to TLP) where (according to you)
LW retracts, discredits or disowns TLP 5.6?
