Citing an NPR article for a legal point is like citing NPR for a programming point. Just, no.

Corporations and humans both implement the ILegalPerson interface. So for some purposes where you need a legal person, they are interchangeable. But they are not in general people.




Would you suggest I cite Supreme Court decisions directly then in the future? I'm happy to cite whatever documentation you treat as canonical when we have these sorts of discussions.

While it's true corporations are not "people", legal interpretation in the United States has shown that they have been given many rights of personhood.
