For what it is worth I would describe that counterfactual claim as inconsistent with reality and false. That is, when instantiating the counterfactual using the counterfactual operation as reasonably as possible it would seem that reality as I know it is not such that the modified version would result in the consequences predicted.
(Note that with my understanding of the terms in question I think it is impossible to have something consistent with reality and false so it is unsurprising that given examples would not appear to me to meet those criteria simultaneously.)
Thankyou, I understand what you are saying now.

Yeah, I think I agree after thinking about it a bit—I mean, why wouldn’t we define the terms that way?
