I don't get all the Ayn Rand worshipers
I was there once. Embarassing but true. I worked my way to St. Thomas through Rand and then Aristotle. Extrapolating from my personal experience, those who have been schooled have little to no exposure to Aristotle's philosophy. Exposure to concepts like metaphysics, epistemology and absolute truth for the first time can be a very heady experience. It's easy to make the mistake of transferring one's natural love for truth to some person who sometimes persuasively claims to possess the truth.
