I don't really see how you drew the conclusion from my comment that I'm "celebrating the cult of Wittgenstein". I just take issue with this article, which amounts to a justification of a one-word hot take. I don't object to people having an issue with Wittgenstein -- I'm more disparaging of Wittgenstein than most -- I just want people to be thoughtful about it.
I certainly don't think something should be dismissed because it's written in an approachable way: that's a virtue that all writing should strive for. My point is that some ideas are inherently difficult to write about (and some people aren't very good at writing in a clear way), but we shouldn't be quick to dismiss either because of their difficulty.
