Under the section entitled "Against Verifiability"

Instead of this: "Popper argues that the Humean induction problem shows that there is no way to make meaningful universal statements based on individual iterations of sense-experience.[8][5] Therefore, empirical statements are no more "verifiable" than metaphysical statements.[5]"

Perhaps this? "Popper argues that the Humean induction problem shows that there is no way to make meaningful universal statements on the basis of any number of empirical observations.[8][5] Therefore, empirical statements are no more "verifiable" than metaphysical statements.[5]"

Also, I wonder: is it accurate to describe Wittgenstein as a logical positivist? Perhaps it'd be worth fleshing out how Wittgenstein relates to the logical positivists, on the one hand, and Popper, on the other?
