vacuously
In meaningless fashion
Vacuously means in an empty or meaningless way, lacking substance or thought: He smiled vacuously at the camera.
The word often describes expressions or statements that appear hollow or unintelligent.
In logic, a statement is vacuously true when it's technically true only because its conditions are never met—a claim about nothing.
