JL, quoting Donal:

JLS' way with the issues is way too easy, and also seems confused, as explained below.

JL, speaking for himself (I think):

Wittgenstein thinks that x cannot be said.
But Wittgenstein said x.

Therefore, Wittgenstein is wrong.>

Therefore JL is wrong. The difference, in the /Tractatus/ (I think that to look for a said/shown distinction in the /Investigations/, is to follow a will-o'-the-wisp) is that between what can be said and what can only be shown. He doesn't /say/ anything that can't
be said.
