Even if we are looking in the wrong direction, or if the plane is occluded by cloud, or if one has poor eyesight, or if the plane is too small and far away to be resolved? This is what "every single circumstance" means.

If it is too small to be seen then this is due to resolution. This is the same explanation that you use yourself, and it is the same explanation that works perfectly well under regular afferent vision. So your invented facts don't help to support your position in any way whatsoever.
