I agree with that completely. Wittgenstein's "simplicity" is only apparent, because he tends to write as if he's the first person to ever do philosophy. But he knows he's not, and his grasp of classical metaphysics (like most philosophers of his era) was basically flawless. He is way more interesting to read with that background in place.
