I sometimes imagine that a philosophical dispute goes like a tennis game. You can easily say where is the ball and who is at turn to hit it. My point here is that we have an argument from Wittgenstein and now is our turn to reply to it. That is to say, in order to constitute a coherent argument, Wittgenstein's position does not need to be supplemented with other theses (but only clarified, or mapped into a clearer scheme).

Note: I did not provided an entire reconstructed argument here, but only a sketch for an argument.
