The "it" refers to a data structure with information about a person, not to a 
person. If it did, one would have to use a personal pronoun instead. According 
to the rules of interpersonal behavior which have been promoted in the academic 
and tech world lately, there is a potential infinity of such pronouns and they 
depend on the particular person. Should there ever be an effort to implement 
that, it would have to happen without me.
