Maps are not the territory. This is necessary, otherwise they are useless.

Consider a map for driving to a destination several hundred miles distant. If we "improve" the map to make the sale 1 inch to 1 inch, then the map would be so large that we could not read it! We would need another map to guide us around this map. The map would be hundreds of miles wide, remember... and by virtue of this "improvement" in its accuracy, would be totally useless.

negative-ideological possession / anti-ideological possession

Over-reacting negatively to the positive version of ideological possession, that is, rejecting an ideology to the extreme point of mindlessly, scriptedly, rejecting any and all of its claims - in total disregard of whether the claim might be true or not - can be construed as a negative (or anti-) ideological possessive reaction to (positive) ideological possession. Both might well be avoided, as both tend to ignore evidence.
