<p>Sure there can. We have lots of places in OSM (including international borders) where authoritative sources conflict. It's enough of a problem that the OSMF has a policy specifically for it: <a href="https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/w/images/d/d8/DisputedTerritoriesInformation.pdf" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/w/images/d/d8/DisputedTerritoriesInformation.pdf</a> .</p>

Got me there, Andy. The United Nations could be used as an authoritative source, but I think even they acknowledge disputed areas. But I admit I struggle to think of any other examples.
