I'm stuck on the "don't anthropomorphize institutions" and then "Harvard is in the business of..." Is there a particular Harvard person(s) you think is responsible for this?



"Harvard is in the business of..." is not in any way an anthropomorphism. GP is using "anthropomorphism" incorrectly, but they are consistent, and your question is unjustified.


I think it's fair, personally. If people used the same terms as he was in his complaint, he would be complaining about that instead.

It's not one person it's a company, but it's not a company it's an agregation of people and policy. Is Obama evil? No the US government is, is the US Government evil? No but there are some corrupt people and some bad policies.

on and on we go.
