Animosity Towards Verbosity

I just heard someone on the radio say “We trust each other implicitly” Is it necessary in this instance to use the word implicitly? Is the presence of the word implicitly not implicit in the use of the word trust, with all that it represents. It is implicit - therefore by my reckoning it does not actually need to be there. So why put it in? And why stop there? How often have you heard someone say “things got progressively better”? If things got better is it not implicit that this represented a progression? It would have to be considered by its very nature to be progressive, what with things getting better and all. So why put it in? Because we are in the throes of a collective love affair with superfluousness. We are merely acting out, verbalizing a deep rooted bullshit instinct. We can help it no more than we can keep our hands in our pockets when we trip over a kerb.
