That's a good idea, since your contract argument simply reinvented limited liability. Also your black and white thinking is off: for example, I never argued about "all extensions are justified by economic growth," nor have I continually reduced positions to binary when they're clearly not. I think you're arguing against what you want me to write instead of what I've actually written.
Not even all forms of limited liability are equal, let alone all forms of corporate structure of which limited liability is only a part. To argue that all of the extensions to corporate personhood over the last 200 years are justified because of economic growth over the same time is not only to conflate different things but to confuse correlation with causation. That's where this discussion started - not with limited liability alone, but with corporate personhood in general, so I guess we can add the fallacy of composition to your trifecta. I refuse to engage with more such sophistry.
