That's a straw man argument, as far as I remember, I never said that. Personally, it seems to me as "the map is not the territory" is one of the maps which some, I am not saying you or anyone else, might think is the territory. T

Consider distinguishing between "the map is the territory" and "the map is an accurate representation of the territory".

Regardless how accurate or inaccurate a map is, it is still a map. But some maps are more or less accurate over other maps. That's fine. That's human projections.

I argue that the territory is arational, which means any representation in relation to the territory is all the same.
