Why is this word misused so badly to assure the listener of just about anything?
My girlfriend can serve as an example. She rarely makes errors of logic, but if she does, they're usually bundled up with the magic word, "logically".
Many other people like to give statements according to the same template:
Looking at the situation in <here> and seeing what logic applies <here> (with disregard of crucial information in the matter) , one should arrive to this concusion in <here>.
