Not necessarily. He didn't *write* much, but he *spoke* a great deal. 
His seminars were said to be herculean monologues of demonic 
cerebration, interspersed with tormented silence. His students, as 
you know, kept fairly detailed journals of his struggle with the 
ineffable, transcribed as the Blue Book, the Brown Book, etc, 
repudiating the TRACTATUS. But of course, whereof one cannot speak, 
thereof one must be silent.
