a social persona is at least as much a person as a robot is! :) but this is a good question

also, separating social personas from a person is... not easy?

I typically distinguish between perceptual persona and social personas. They parse information quite differently.

what is perceptual persona? i'm not familiar with it (and oddly, not finding any definition)

a layer of self that is grounded in your hedonic responses and responsible for most of your decisions, but rarely consciously integrated

doesn't law define person more or less as an entity that can evaluate the likely results of its actions before committing them?

for instance, most people don't make a lot of decisions not to drive while drunk, but they commit to a protocol in that regard

I think I've convinced myself that actions don't make a person :) A person in a coma is still a person! They exhibit no social persona...

So my answer to original question is Yes, we are anthropomorphizing too much, based on expectations of social persona and physical traits.
