I don’t agree. The existence 3^^^3 people, or 3^^^3 dust specks, is impossible because there isn’t enough matter, as you said. The existence of an event that has only effects that are tailored to fit a particular person’s idea of ‘bad’ does not fit my model of how causality works. That seems like a worse infraction, to me.
However, all of that is irrelevant, because I answered the more “interesting question” in the comment you quoted. To be blunt, why are we still talking about this?

I’m not sure I agree, but “which impossible thing is more impossible” does seem an odd thing to be arguing about, so I’ll not go into the reasons unless someone asks for them.

I meant a more generalized you, in my last sentence. You in particular did indeed answer the more interesting question.
