Even the sort of people who hate Ayn still have to admit to at least some of the things that she, objectively, got right. I love watching liberals try to knock her, then mutter under their breath that they have her to thank for freeing them from theism! So defending some aspects of Ayn's ideas doesn't earn Smith any badge of honor. Smith was afraid, perhaps rightly, that the academic liberals who run her school wouldn't give her tenure if she said outright that she was an Objectivist.  06:11
