18274	Analysis complicates a statement, but only as far as the complexity of its meaning [Wittgenstein]
	Full Idea: Analysis makes the statement more complicated than it was; but it cannot and ought not to make it more complicated than its meaning (Bedeutung) was to begin with. When the statement is as complex as its meaning, then it is completely analysed.
