This should absolutely not be downvoted. Wittgenstein's perjury in the court of law when in trial for beating Haidbauer touched all parts of his life, and it could be argued that this is why he hated the Tractatus, a body of work he once said was the last thing to say about all of philosophy. This is the kind of complex man he was, though. People read Tractatus and find problems with it. Well, yes, even Wittgenstein saw that it was misguided, which is why he wrote Philosophical Investigations. But lying in a court of law and getting away with it, and feeling disgusted in himself, tracks with how he saw himself and how disenchanted he was with the world.

That's a slightly more sophisticated take, compared to "ugh this person did something Very Bad (TM), let's disregard absolutely anything else that they did", isn't it?
