I'm not so sure the analogy is as purported..

Remember, that to completely describe and render the land that is represented by a map it, indeed, must be sampled at twice the resolution of the finest point you want to represent. However when viewing a map all you're interested in is the general shape and scale of a landmass, not every blade of grass. Hence it is acceptable to sample at a lower frequency that still represents the view you're looking for.

Understanding the nuances of a human being, however, is incredibly complex. From your post, then, do you believe you can summarise and analyse your fellow mates accurately with the limited view you have of them? Do you understand what it is to be them? Have you got a large enough sample?

Whilst your post is a good warning against mistakenly applying one theorem from a known domain to another, it would help if you explained your confidence in the reply given above..
