No, don't be silly.
In THIS case, the evidence you mentioned wouldn't really mean anything. People (all of them) who are objectivist develop self-esteem issues. First of all, saying all objectivists are anything is sort of dumb, because it's just a generalization. Then you have to decide, for every single objectivist, that they developed self-esteem issues solely and completely due to objectivism.
Neither of those things are really provable, so any "evidence" would be faulty.
Even if you could prove those things, and had evidence, it wouldn't mean objectivism is inherently bad.
It's like medicines with side affects. A medicine that gives you diarrhea but cures asthma still cures asthma.
