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^)
