That is exactly what I said. You can use tiles poorly, but that does not make them tile errors. Your dirt/water example was an error, not poor useage. It was incorrect.

Thought and area of placement are just about everything but irrelevant in level making, which shows how knowledgeable you are on the partcular subject.
There are no errors, as you said, just misusage of the tiles in question. If you had used more or less, the river would still look poor.
