The situation is comparable to inversion about tetrahedral carbon atoms: under
"ordinary" conditions, there is no problem. But people run simulated
annealing runs at hundreds (or thousands) of degrees, and may include
artificial forces, or start from very strained geometries. In such cases, the
usual ideas from what happens in the real world become irrelevant.
