Comment by WillAdams

From an IBM training manual (1979):

>A computer can never be held accountable

>Therefore a computer must never make a management decision

The (EDITED) corollary would arguably be:

>Corporations are amoral entities which are potentially immortal who cannot be placed behind bars. Therefore they should never be given the rights of human beings.

(potentially, not absolutely immortal --- would wording as "not mortal by essence/nature"? be better?)
