I think you should have checked first that it makes the point you want
to make and not the opposite:

2. (degree, figuratively, proscribed, contranym) Used non-literally as
   an intensifier for figurative statements: virtually, so to speak
   (often considered incorrect; see usage notes)
3. (colloquial) Used to intensify or dramatize non-figurative
   statements.
4. (colloquial) Used as a generic downtoner: just, merely.

2. in effect : virtually—used in an exaggerated way to emphasize a
   statement or description that is not literally true or possible

* used to emphasize what you are saying:
* simply or just:
