It is popular argument against algorithmic approach. Usually computer
algorithms cannot reproduce arbitrary human decisions :-(

Ok, this is not software issue. In attached example calculated main
channel is evidently longer than real main channel so software cannot
calculate it different. On my first look there are two possibilities:
- first: main channel is established according to basin area. If so try
to model stream network using SFD and next Gravelius hierarchy using
accumulation map as an option. Result should be correct. This is
impossible using MFD approach
- second: main channel is arbitrary chosen as "central channel". No idea
how to reproduce it without complex analysis of basin shape and network
topology.
