That's ridiculous. If a person "agrees with and lives by the
principles of Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism," then they are
already familiar with Objectivist ideas, in fact, one would assume
that one would be intimately familiar with them in order to agree with
them and live by them!

So let me get this straight. You want people who are unfamiliar with
objectivsim, yet agree with it and live by it?

And the general public would, you think, agree to live by Ayn Rand's
principles before becoming familiar with them?

You really don't have a very high opinion of the general public, don't
you?
