§93

The people who say that a proposition is something remarkable have not looked and seen how propositions work.

Why think a proposition is remarkable?
- Because it is important (correct, says Wittgenstein).
- It may be because someone had misunderstood the logic of language. Wittgenstein doesn't make clear here what the misunderstanding is. I imagine he has his own earlier ideas in mind (from the Tractatus).
