Brooks will  normally never form a waterfall in worldgen. Never.
This is what causes brook canyons to be so common.
The inverse can also happen, brooks that form a plateau or whatever

The only natural waterfall I've had sofar was from a brook. 10 z levels.

Was it intersecting with another watercourse?

I have had more than a few brook waterfalls, on embarks where the brook is the only watercourse, your theory cannot be valid.

So any idea what circumstances lead to the brook carving into the landscape vs hitting a cliff and waterfalling it up?

I had my first run-in with miasma. I didn't know what it was until now. Took me about 3 ingame days to figure out where it came from. Turns out it was the butcher shop.

You see, here's how I think this works:
Overseer: Welcome to the military! You need to wear socks! Dorf: Oh, I should get military socks. My socks are civilian socks. Dorf discards socks Dorf: You know, I need a whole lot of gear now. I should get socks... last. Oh, but these steel boots with the white goo on them are nice!

Holding Shift while marking designations causes the marker to skip around much quicker.

*sigh* I should add that to the sig.

The guild representative who asks about the import/export agreement can leave the map through the caverns with no problem. Very handy if there's a large siege just outside the gates.

reading tutorials when you play first time you play no matter how old can give you a vast amount of knowledge over many other 'overseers' that are extremely important for basic fort management and construction.
