I think you're making a separate argument, that when there's some maybe-path that's indistinct, and not clearly followable, then probably the mapper should decide that it doesn't exist and not map it. If that's being done out of a desire to accurately map the world, I suspect everyone is fine with that. The case being discussed is when there is a path on the ground, and it's just as obvious and actually there as many other paths -- but the authorities don't want it used. There are such paths around me, and the authorities have told me they don't want them on maps :-) I think most of the commentary has been along the lines of "What if there were no rule prohibiting the use of these paths, and no official discouragement -- would the desire to suppress them be different?" It seems to me that the entire discussion arises from people not wanting maps to show some paths even when the paths are there.
