Uh, haven't read H.Potter fiction, but trying to claim this is the dialog they spoke. You are doing that again.
Again, no. M.Rothbard didn't produce philosophical writing. Furthermore, just saying "Philosophy X says Y, a peep does Y, therefore that peep "is" an X" is a stupid, stupid, kind of statement. Sure, Descartes famously wrote "I think, therefore I am". This doesn't mean every time someone thinks they are "being" a Cartesian.
Furthermore, being a X, where X is a philosophy, doesn't make you part of some stupid team. If someone said they are an Existentialist, what does that mean? Well strictly it means they are a professional philosopher, they probably hold a professorship, and that what they publish in the academic journals are on subcategory of Existentialism of academic philosophy.
That doesn't fit ACers at all. ACers, universally, think their endless prating about 'morality' is actually doing philosophy. No ACer could give even a high school level explanation regarding any legitimate branch of philosophy. LOL @ACers being into philosophy at all.
