I'm not too sure if you meant to generalize this entirely. However, I should say that appeals to possibility could indeed undermine the claim about probability. Inductive or evidential arguments from evil could be rendered impotent with appeals to ontological arguments.
1. <>(<>{}(<>G--><>[]G) & <>G)
2.<>{}(<>G--><>[]G) & <>G
Both 1 and 2 are possibility claims which are logically equivalent to []G in some modal logics.
