No, just remove 1 white stone in the example above:
w.wwB
.w.B. <-- white stone remove from example above
wwwwB
BBBB. <-- black should play here, even though white cannot
.B.BB
Now it makes sense for B to play at the false eye to avoid
the capture of the 2 stones at the top when white plays
the "removed stone".
