Probably herr Wittgenstein would huff and puff, claiming the question is
misguided (it is the sign of a decaying mind that wanted to know whether x
was right or p was true.)
Omar Kusturica individuates the core problem, it virtually impossible to
see what to be wrong or right 'about', as it were
dr. Hoprwich has the line that the Wittgenstein's real view is an
antirealist/skeptical one according to which the question either has no
answer at all (like asking whether the number 8 is purple or zebra striped)
or the answer is by itself not answerable (things like completeness of 1st
order number theory with Peano axioms)

蜀相 （武侯祠）
丞相祠堂何處尋
錦官城外柏森森。
映階碧草自春色，
隔葉黃鸝空好音。
三顧頻煩天下計，
兩朝開濟老臣心。
出師未捷身先死，
長使英雄淚滿襟。
