The whole reason he went on an entire tirade is because of the belief that Tenochtitlan's population sizes are exaggerated. Which, while true to some extent, is not something of any academic significance in the modern day since the estimate he gave at the end is the most widely accepted one in currentyear.

What exactly do you think the conquest and colonization of Mexico was like? Some genocidal campaign in which the conquistadors killed everybody they came across with, demolished every building they saw and burned every book? No, there were other cities beyond Tenochtitlan, with buildings in them, and those buldings did not magically collapse the second Tenochtitlan fell. There were people living inside those cities, who became citizens of the Spanish Empire. As a result, Spanish friars arrived to record everything they could see and educate the native nobility, who went on to continue making painted books and documents depicting the world they knew from before and after the conquest in both the spanish and native ways. That particular map was not i was referring to, and i have no idea why you would think so unless you really are somehow unfamiliar with Mesoamerican codices but rather documents like the lienzo de tlaxcala, made by natives in the decades following the conquest, as well as fully pre-columbian documents like the Mixtec codices and the Codex Borgia.
