But that ain't what you said. You said "non-existant possibility" =>
"absence of possibility". "Unlikely" means "very little possibility", not
"absence of possibility".

There is a significant difference between improbable and impossible. It is
possible to make 8cm DVDs, and it is possible to have players which play
them (indeed, many already could). Heard of DVD-1 to DVD-4? Theoretical
maybe, but certainly practically possible.
I have no doubt that 8cm DVDs will be made (if they haven't already). I do
have a doubt they will be anything more than a novelty.
