No. I just don't think the premise that leads to "what is possibly necessarily, then is necessarily" is true.

I don't think what is possible is necessarily possible, because the word possibility is sometimes used to denote things that are impossible.

For example, in math, you show a possible hypothesis, then go to show it's impossible by proof of contradiction.
