Heh, it was Homotopy Type Theory I was accusing of being hoity-toity. 8^) But I 
think it's reasonable to argue that W. was pretty hoity-toity, as this story 
implies:

  When Feyerabend Met Wittgenstein

Disclosure: Feyerabend is my favorite philosopher. Whether W. was *too* hoity-toity or 
not is another issue. But he certainly pushed the envelope in his response to Logik not 
being adequate for a bachelors: "If I am not worth your making an exception for me 
even in some STUPID details then I may as well go to Hell directly; and if I am worth it 
and you don't do it then—by God—you might go there." ... reminds me of some of the 
people I met while I was at the SFI. 8^)

words produced by one human to describe an experience cannot cause another to 
have that same experience.  Not too hoity-toity.
