Not at all. It's simply to recognize the difference between the map and the territory. What we say about ourselves is the map. What we do is the territory.
If the two don't match, it's the map that needs to be updated.
Every map is part of the territory. But what a particular map a map of? When we reason about what we want, we don't reason about what we actually do, but about what we should do.
People who talk about what they want usually aren't talking about what they should want.
