if you have such difficulty finding good examples, could this perhaps be an indication that your claim is more shaky than you'd like it to be?

Could be, though my first thought on the difficulty of finding suggestions was "I guess the brain doesn't index its knowledge on 'is_invertible_fact'." And of course, hindsight bias interferes with the search process - the facts one knows seem correct and well-supported.
