Hi!
Is 'Person' a mechanic in DF? To my knowledge, its not. So if I understand correctly, this is merely a way of describing game mechancis in another way, right?
Does 'person' somehow play any role in any game mechanic? Of not, this article is purely arbitrary.
Also: In my opinion, the properties CanLearn and CanSpeak are the most importand ones determing if someone is a person. I think you have added to much dwarven properties to the comparison. For example: CanOpenDoors. This is surely not a property of a person. Because also angels, demons, bogeyman have this token, are they a person? in real live, monkeys and dogs can open doors, parrots can 'speak', and you've added 'Magma Crab' to the list? Where is this going to? Is having a body a property of a person, so every creature can be added to this list! It is an interesting way to discuss about, but I think it has no value to this wiki. Sorry
