This quote essentially emphasizes the importance of intellectual honesty and integrity when discussing and adopting philosophical beliefs. It suggests that if one's personal views align partially with Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism, but differ in certain aspects, it is inappropriate to label oneself as an Objectivist. Instead, it advises individuals to acknowledge and credit Ayn Rand as the author of the parts they agree with, thereby acknowledging and respecting the origins of these ideas while still asserting their own individuality and divergent perspectives.
