Impossible?
Impossible is a very strong word.
​
What you are saying is that for it to be possible to have occurred a long list of extremely unlikely conditions have to have applied.
​
We have good reason for saying that some of the conditions did not apply therefore, under this situation, it is impossible. But now we have to argue the particular conditions.
