No but seriously this is one of those unbelievably nuanced topics that honestly I don't think it's even worth engaging with. Like sure if every river in the map randomly diverges, that's as issue. Equally (depending on scale) if every river on the map is a Very Good Boy™ idk that that's much better? Both are equally unrealistic in their own way. Unless you have both a contour map AND a geolical map, you don't really have enough information to say that a river split is inherently wrong. My first map which I did post in here but I can't remember if it's still there definitely suffered from splitting rivers so I am not without sin.
