    An "artificial person" is not a real person any more than a robot is a
    person
    no matter what some may read into the "law".

    Actually it is. What you probably means by that second use of "person" was "human being," which is not the same as "person." If you had said that an "artificial person" is not a "natural person" that would have also been correct, but then you would have seen the emptiness of your own statement.

    What you said was that it "is a legal fiction limiting liability of the actual persons involved in that corporation." The sentence is completely false, for reasons that I explained and you ignored.

    You explained your view of it without recognising that a corporate
    person is a
    legal fiction and a corporation DOES limit the liability of the actual
    persons
    involved in the corporation.

    That is not what you said. If your defense is that you were attempting to
    say nothing relevant, and that it was only by accident that you said
    something that was relevant but false, well, that is an interesting avenue
    of response.
