True, but I couldn't fit it into Wittgenstein's opening "Tractatus" format. ankh156, who has known my cultural horizons over the years, produced a neat and fitting conclusion.

If my memory serves me right, a good part of the Tractatus's impact was its numbering system. But it was all so long ago...
