This runs the danger of mistaking a map for a mental model. Which, for some of us, I bet that is the case. For others? I don't know.

Note that this is emphatically not saying to abandon maps. I'm pushing more for having things in addition. And if you really want to build a shared mental model, you almost certainly have to share an experience. You can use narratives to help build a shared experience, but often you have to practice/rehearse anything that you want to have a truly shared model of.
