... slight correction here (already inserted): 1. Regarding the AA lecture notes, I would not place too much stock on the idea that Wittgenstein was saying that there is only one kind of "nonsense." If you substitute "sense" for "family" -- a very reasonable substitution given the time frame -- the passage you cite is perfectly compatible with the idea that gibberish has differences from contradiction or falsehood.
