But if it is, in fact, provably true (as it may be, for all we know), then it would have to be (subjunctively) necessarily true; what being provable means is that it would not be (logically) possible for it to be false. Similarly, it might not be at all (epistemically) possible that it is raining outside--we might know beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is not--but that would hardly mean that it is (subjunctively) impossible for it to rain outside.
