X : Maps are quite theoretical.
Me : That's quite funny.
X : Why?
Me : They were born in practice, they have developed in practice, they exist in practice ... there isn't much theory there just lists of patterns observed. People are working on building the theory.

On one side I get people asking "Can you prove your maps" to "how do you make a right map" for which I answer "the theory behind maps hasn't developed to the point that we can answer those questions" and then on the other side I get people going "It's a bit theoretical".
I suppose the only answer is to shrug shoulders and say "if you find maps to be useful to you then use them" and then just keep continuing develop the practice through ... practice.
X : How do you know if they are useful?
Me : Well, that's one of those areas being looked at. Are maps actually useful? How do we know? How do we measure this? etc etc.
