Knol is only a few months old, but already it seems like a much more Randian approach to the underlying issue than Wikipedia.

We'll see.
This does not seem any more Randian than blogging does.
I mean, not that I disagree with your basic conclusion, but there's no real reason to tie the observation that Knol is personality-driven while Wikipedia attempts to meld personalities into a consistent amalgamation to controversial schools of political thought.
