As much as I respect you, I feel as though I must also educate you. You are espousing the very essence of Freeman
MYTHOLOGY. The legal terms "natural person" and "artificial person" have very different legal definitions BECAUSE they are two different entities that are not at all "virtually the same".

Because this is the very essence of Freeman
MYTHOLOGY, one can not break free and move forward from Freeman
MYTHOLOGY until they have accepted this fact.
IANAL, but it seems to me that the set of "Legal Persons" includes the subsets of "Artificial Persons" and "Natural Persons". So, in that sense, Legal Person is not equal to Natural Person. All natural persons are legal persons, but not all legal persons are natural persons. Likewise, all artificial persons are legal persons, but not all legal persons are artificial persons.
I am a natural person. I am also a legal person. I am not an artificial person.
General Motors is an artificial person. It is also a legal person. It is not a natural person.
Perhaps this is not the precise legal definition, but it seems to be a pretty good common sense definition. Sometimes, the law does, in fact, follow common sense.
Legal persons = Artificial persons + Natural persons
