On any closed symplectic manifold of dimension greater than $ 2 $, we construct a pair of smooth functions, such that on the one hand, the uniform norm of their Poisson bracket equals to $ 1 $, but on the other hand, this pair cannot be reasonably approximated (in the uniform norm) by a pair of Poisson commuting smooth functions. This comes in contrast with the dimension $ 2 $ case, where by a partial case of a result of Zapolsky [13], an opposite statement holds.
Keywords: Poisson bracket, pseudo- holomorphic curves., Poisson bracket invariants, rigidity.
