I think there's a strong case to be made that the detailed map is indeed the land it maps.

Or that one can construct a surprisingly intuitive black box out of a sufficiently large pile of correlations.

Because what is written language, if not an attempt to map ideas we all have in our heads into words? So inversely, should there not be a statistically-relevant echo of those ideas in all our words?

Yeah people keep saying "the map is the territory" when it comes to LLMs presumed ability to reason, but that's nonsense.
