Better by the only criteria that matters. Once something is proved, everybody will agree to it given enough time to examine and question the proof. Once someone makes a mathematical proof, the philosophical arguments are thrown on the trash heap. As you mentioned, Wittgenstein threw his earlier philosophical arguments on the trash heap. Given a few more years, he would have thrown his latest philosophical arguments on the trash heap as well.
