Correct. Your machine can't have two routes pointing towards the same
network.

If you have a default route, you HAVE two routes pointing towards
every network for which you have an explicit route.  This cannot be
a correct statement without some further qualifiers!

The default route is a fallback which applies to every address/network
you do *not* have an explicit route for. I do not see how this would
qualify as "two routes towards the same network".
