I mean, it's "possible" that there is a large amount of gold buried under my house right now, and I could probably create a complex argument to show that, but it doesn't mean I should go and dig up the foundations.
It's all very well and good showing that stuff is possible, but when dealing with reality, you also need to show how likely stuff is, and unfortunately for Plantinga here, there is overwhelming evidence that the mind is part of the internal workings of the brain.
