Maybe you're right, but Rand actually saw the extremes as subjectivism
and intrinsicism with Objectivism dialectically melding the best aspects
of both while dumping out the worst aspects of either.  For more on
this, see "Dialectical Objectivism: An Answer to Ronald E. Merrill" at:

and Chris Sciabarra's _Ayn Rand: The Russian Radical_ "abstract" page

But, of course, that doesn't mean she was right.:)
