This phrase used to be used by experts in a field (e.g. law, government, science) after they had spent a huge amount of time (e.g. weeks/months/years) studying and researching every single possible angle on a subject before having the knowledge to say that "there is no evidence" that a certain statement or object is true.
Nowadays, it is used by any Tom, Dick or Harry who spent zero time studying and researching a subject to appear that they know something in depth when they disagree with an expert opinion (the expert opinion has overwhelming proof and is utterly true).
This phrase should not be allowed on any broadcast media unless whoever says it can prove to the world that they have done their research and can prove their point.

A peculiar phenomenon with millennials who all think every other person in the world is an utter imbecile so they start every explanation of anything, even the most simple concept that all previous young adults of previous generations grasped easily before finishing primary/elementary school (e.g. saying 'Basically if you add 2 to 2, you will get four. Basically'"
This immediately makes anyone (usually older but there is hope too for the children younger than millennials) with half a brain think the speaker is a patronising moron and stop listening to said idiot who assumes and is insinuating that everyone else on the planet is an idiot but only makes him or herself an idiot in the process by saying "basically" all the time.
"Basically" should only be used by people who actually have studied something to expert level e.g. advanced physics, mathematics, language, history.
