Another point:
You said: A is A
Now I ask: A is Ä?
If not, who decides that? It must be clearly a person. And since this persons thought should be the consequence of his rational thoughts, every rationaly thinking person should get this outcome. But on what basis? When is an A still an A? if a person can recognize it as an A? If so you're saying that reality is dependant on a man’s consciousness. If not I'd like to know when you think an A is an A.
If yes, the same applies.
If undecided, then you're doubting the point of man's rationality.
I'll explain: DraconicDink posted the following sentence when explaining the believes of Objectivists: 'Man’s reason is fully competent to know the facts of reality.' If it's impossible for a man to decide whether or not an A is Ä, how can it be posible for a man to reason more important things, like if Objectivism is true? In that case I think Objectivists are arrogant, since they say they know the truth while they can't even decide if an A is an Ä.
