Of course. It's a legal fiction and not really an individual. However, it
still must act as an individual in many ways. And because it must
represent so many conflicting individual interests, PR is mostly about
what NOT to say and therefore, necessarily, doublespeak, (and, in the
case of Microsoft, pure fantasy because they are not yet a mature
corporation).
