It never loses suction
When someone uses the word "really" it usually means they're lying - that conditional is a subconscious response to quell the cognitive dissonance of saying something you know is untrue. For example, if someone were to ask if you were pressured to do something at work that was unethical and the answer was no would you reply with "Nobody pressured me at work to something unethical" or "Nobody really pressured me at work to do something unethical"
I noticed this too...great example of hard language vs. soft language you have. I always found 'soft language' responses to be no more useful than a stated opinion.
Adapt. Enjoy. Survive.
