Your life has a limit, but knowledge has none. If you use what is limited to pursue what has no limit, you will be in danger. If you understand this and still strive for knowledge, you will be in danger for certain.
--Zhuangzi, being a trendy metacontrarian post-rationalist in the 4th century BC
Zhuangzi says knowledge has no limit, one could spend his entire life making a good map of a vast and diverse territory and it would not be enough to make a good map.
If one does not know this and makes maps for travel, he may be travelling to safe lands. This is weak evidence one is in danger.
If one knows this and still makes such maps, this is strong evidence one is in danger, for to travel to safe lands he would not make such foolhardy attempts.
