Why is Ayn Rand so popular yet rejected in more serious academic circles.

She dismisses Kant without citing him or his actual arguments. She deals with caricatures of philosophers without actually citing (or even possibly reading) their texts. She has so little research to the point where much of her writing wouldn't pass a freshman introduction to philosophy course.
