I consider that to be a bug in pylint.  It misstates a careless 'bad' 
opinion as a fact.

If pylint sees 'map(lambda ...: ', it would be appropriate to suggest 
using a comprehension or generator expression instead.  This avoids the 
unneeded creation and repeated call of a new function.  If it sees 
'map(<identifier>,', I think it should say nothing.
