Least convenient possible world:

I think you provide a sufficiently inconvinient possible world to challenge but this seems to be almost the default and fairly neutral world in which to test the theory. The worlds that almost instantly to mind in response to the implicit challenge ("hard to argue in even those cases") naturally took the inconvenience to the extremes.

(I agree with what seems to be your key message.)
