That statement sounds to me like a misunderstanding of what maps are about. The act of perception is an abstraction on the world that’s out there and even if you don’t layer interpretation on it, it’s still a different layer of abstraction then territory.
I think reading Science and Sanity (the book from which “The map is not the territory” comes) would be valuable for you if you are interested to clearer understand that topic.
