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

But then it would require a set of circumstances to make it true?

So is the word belief and faith. You seem to be getting caught up in semantics...the worshipping of words. Is this your new god?

Why should this bother you? It is to my understanding (I am no mathematician) how we come to understand what is probable, possible and pragmatically feasible to do
