"However I realized that this analogy falls apart when you consider the fringe case of how Stanley Kubrick, Steve Jobs, George Miller and Barack Obama all opted for a single uniform to reduce "decision fatigue". I have failed to find a second map of this particular idea."

Maybe this analogy can still work, many famous people seem to have a single map that they apply to most circumstances. Ray Dalio has his "changing world order" thesis that he seems to mainly work with for example. I would even say most people tend to find themselves over their career in places where some maps work basically all of the time.
