Gregg's Manual of English: "A name spelled in all capital letters or a name initialed, is not a proper noun denoting a specific person, but is a fictitious name, or a name of a dead person, or a nom de guerre."
They don't need a law to follow a rule of grammar.

This is simply not true. I have shown you where fictitious entities are represented by an all caps name in a grammar book. I have shown you tax documents requiring corporations to print their name in all caps. Corporations are legal fictions, or artificial persons. JOHN DOE, is considered as such.
Instead of being biased and reading a link on rationalwiki or affiliates, try looking a bit deeper. It is far above their knowledge to declare that no judge has ever ruled in favor. This is extremely biased and a cherry picking of information. There are PLENTY of cases, where people who have been charged with a crime say 'driving without a license' and had the charge dismissed. This is simply not truthful to state that none of this has ever worked.
