Granted.

        ca'a fasnu              x1 actually happens
        ka'e fasnu              x1 could possibly happen
        nu'o fasnu              x1 could happen but has not
        pu'i fasnu              x1 can and has happened

with appropriate changes for tense.  But in any event, something can
be "nu ... kei" without "ca'a fasnu", and probably even without "ka'e fasnu",
being true of it.
