ipso facto

This word is typically used to emphasize a contradition, and its use as "by that very fact" should be distinguished from therefore, which also means "by the preceding fact". In the example below, ipso facto is used because the success in some way hinges on apparent failure. This could occur if, for example, if my goal was to lower myself in the other's opinion. Ipso facto, then, is almost always used to emphasize problems of perspective, as in the example.

He says I have failed, but, ipso facto, I've succeeded.
