But you're demanding that in order to be NPOV [[Invincible Snowfields]]
must include a _completely made up_ opinion that _nobody actually
holds_. This is not what NPOV requires. This is madness.

Verifiability might be interpreted as a notability standard, but NPOV
not so much (and certainly not your strange interpretation of NPOV). If
every single person in the whole wide world stood up tomorrow and
shouted in unison "Invincible Snowfields in only accessible by
helicopter!" The correct response is not to conclude "well, I guess it
isn't notable since there are no dissenting POVs we can write about."
