Yeah but with the advent of computers you can have a map as large and precise as the territory... just keep zooming in until the scale is 1:1

I think the best example of the map being the territory is videogames. The map file might literally be the source of truth of what is on the territory.

Assuming you have perfect real-time knowledge of the territory to model which the computing hardware can support.
