I didn't think I dodged the question. I tried to sidestep the meaningless ideology stuff and get straight to the utility stuff.

The NAP requires some arbitrary restrictions to not contradict itself. I'm not a fan of this approach because it always ends up being deficient. I do not agree with Rothbard's assessment of natural rights.
