Worded another way - of what value is truth seeking if you hold the very object you seek in contempt?

You cannot fix, or kill, what you haven't found. The phrase "truth hunting" might be appropriate.

Though if the point is that contempt of the territory does not imply contempt of the map, then I agree.

Contempt of the map? It is the map that should be is irrelevant, while the possibilities implied by it for the territory are to be valued and selected from.
