I suspect that it passes the acid test of philosophy. But it doesn't pass
the acid test of being a science. Science is, if you want to look at it that
way, a subset of philosophy with a certain set of ground-rules. Those
philosophies that don't use those ground-rules don't belong in sci.

Objectivism, despite the quote in Gene Smith's signature, doesn't appear
to be one of the 'natural philosophies'.
