The "possible worlds" line of argumentation implicitly assumes our rules for the purposes of demonstration. It's not actually a guess about other worlds with other rules, but a way to end-run any given persons strongly held ideas about -this world- by reference to some other, possible world, where all things are equal -except- the point of contention.
For example: In some possible world, where all other things are equal except people's reference to possible worlds for thing you don't believe...-you- would have no problem, with possible worlds.
