Ayn Rand claims that "The virtue of Rationality means the recognition and acceptance of reason as one's only source of knowledge," This is wrong, mainly because reason can only be used as a method of choosing between knowledge/ideas, not as a source of knowledge.

I didn't copy/paste, no. I try not to whenever possible. It helps with paying attention to the detail.
