A few members have suggested the below question as a possible answer.

Neither the above question nor the responses address the question I have asked. I have given steps of deduction to start from the truth and arrive at a misconception. I would like to know why that deduction is incorrect.

A few members have suggested the below question as a possible answer. Why does a 95% Confidence Interval (CI) not imply a 95% chance of containing the mean?

Suppose we create a 95% CI from a sample in order to estimate the population mean. Let's say the 95% CI turned out to be [34.2, 36.7]

So, why can't a particular 95% CI have a 95% probability to containof containing the population mean?
