Common dismissal: “Aren’t you just saying that ‘the map is not the territory’?” Attempting to clarify, I find myself baffled. Who ever thought the map WAS the territory? (No one.) What work was denying this supposed to do?

nobody will admit to thinking "the map is the territory" because it's obviously foolish. that doesn't mean nobody makes that mistake though. they just won't admit it. 3/n

the work that making the dismissal "aren't you just saying..."is the work of doing some face-saving while updating mental models, which can feel uncomfortable. 4/fin
