For example, consider the thesis that if someone has a reason to do A, then it follows by necessity that were she to be motivated to do everything that she actually has a reason to do, she would be motivated to do A.

Consider the popular thesis that if there is a reason for someone to do something, then necessarily if she is fully rational she will be motivated to do it.
Let t be a given time and consider the following thesis: It follows from E that, for every proposition p, there is at least one possible world unique to p, a world in which that proposition alone is entertained at t. Hence, there have to be at least as many worlds as propositions.
Some folks seem to consider the primary thesis in Tortured Artists -- that pain is a requirement for producing great art -- a biased assessment of the creative process.
