Helmut,
  
 As an example of a real possibility that does not happen to exist at the 
moment, consider the quality of having exactly the same genes as any 
historical person -- say Julius Caesar, George Washington, or your 
great-grandmother.
  
 There are so many genes and so many options for each gene that it is 
extremely unlikely that any other human will ever have exactly the same 
genome.  But the fact that some human did have that quality at one time 
means that it's not impossible for someone to have that quality again.
  
 Since it's not absolutely impossible, it is a real possibility.  But the 
probability is so low that we can safely say that nobody with exactly those 
genes happens to exist right  now.
  
 You can construct an open-ended variety of such examples.  Consider what 
you ate for lunch yesterday.  You might have a very similar meal on many 
occasions, but no two of them will be absolutely identical.  You could 
describe that meal in a short paragraph that would be true of many, many 
similar meals.  But  that is only because your description is vague.
  
 John
