 It is possible, then, that Wittgenstein is thinking of a sinnlos proposition as a proposition that “has sense” but has it to a zero degree. According to this conception, a tautology, being true, is, in contrast to a nonsensical string, in the running for possessing a non-zero quantity of sense, but is so constructed that, in the end, it doesn’t get to have one. And, importantly, in virtue of being in the running for having a non-zero quantity of sense its possession of a zero quantity amounts to its, broadly speaking, ‘having sense’. Such a view, according to which, for some non-count noun N, an N-less entity has N, but has a zero quantity of it, is not without precedent in the tradition. Kant, for example, regards rest (motionlessness) as a species of motion: a zero quantity of it (Bader, Other Internet Resources, 22–23). If, in a similar fashion, Sinnlosigkeit is a species of Sinn, the equation of having Sinn with being true or false will be preserved. To offer a full defence of this understanding of Sinnlosigkeit would take us too far afield, but I mention it to show that the current objection is not decisive.
