Hence why I pointed it out. I found it amusing, and, well, from what I've heard of and read of Ayn Rand I couldn't actually tell which one she would mean without going over the 50 pages that she would have taken to say all that.

People using asterisks like they're going to have a footnote and then don't have a footnote always confuse me. Part of why I don't like trans* as a term. Always making me think there's going to be a footnote and getting excited because there's just not enough footnotes in my life anymore and then there's no footnote. I've been footnote-teased.
