Oh, and interestingly enough, imagine a version of Alien where in order to 
escape, they built a simulacrum of an alien out of tofu and propped it up in 
the corridor. Then you'd say the live alien is "real," the tofu is fake, 
even tho both are unreal and everyone involves knows that both are movie props.

And the robot "isn't a real person", even tho the actor is a real person, 
and you're supposed to believe the robot is a real person. So it all gets 
rather confusing.
