That's actually not the point of the video, he actually talks about the fringes of the illusion and how you can tell that the designers put care into it while also finding that exact point where the illusion breaks down.
Like the Skyrim one where he follows all the streams to their source and finds tons of believable well placed lakes and mountain streams then finally hits the edge where there's a magical outflow that goes down two paths (to give the player 2 upstream paths to get to that location)
the edge where there’s a magical outflow that goes down two paths
That was a fun video, but honestly that bit felt like a mistake to me. IIRC there was no reason the shorter part of the river couldn't be flowing the other way, making the entire Skyrim waterway coherent.
