'If you ask me', 'the truth of the matter is', these are empty cliches used by more educated people instead of 'um' or 'uh' during pauses in conversation when their mouth works faster than their brain, 'if you will'. 'Having said that', you will notice many people will repeat the same favorite phrase as part of a conversation, especially when suffering from Alzheimers disease. 'For that matter' once you realize what their favorite repetitive phrase is, it will drive you crazy every time you hear it. How many times do you read 'having said that' in a newspaper article, when they really should be writing 'having written that' !?

For that matter the meaning for 'for that matter" is very deep if we go that extent in the matter, for what matters in this material world is matter, no matter what the cost is. Even though matter don't exist in black hole, we are still the matter of this world, and hence we matter much for the matter for that matter. For that matter, 'for that matter" is equivalent to coming to the point or question in issue that is being discussed which I did now. Thanks for that matter.

"In that case", or "By the same token", or "If you insist".
The hole just keeps getting deeper.
