Anatomy tells the story. Analytic philosophy has never even been in the game. — apokrisis

Absolutely agree. They are different categories. It would be absurd if Wittgenstein weighed in on the neurological underpinnings of thought.

I'd ask you sort that out or we just talk past each other. You cannot offer empirical evidence that defeats Wittgenstein"s claims not because he's some God who can't be wrong, subject to worship and cult leader status, but because he's not making an empirical claim.

I am simply content to point out the reason I found Wittgenstein so unhelpful as a source of insight on the topic of "mentalese". About as useless as Chomsky or the other heroes people have had.
