New word – “ by any means “

I learned a new word -“by any means “from the Chapter 13 Of “The Third Ear” today.

Original sentence:
Not everybody knows these martial arts by any means,but the stories and myths that have grown up around them are very much a part of popular culture.

“by any means “ means “ anyway “.

I try to practice making up sentences:

1. By any means, we have the geographical advantage and we must hold this last line of defense.
2. By any means, we don’t have to waste too much time on unnecessary arguments.
3. We have not won this game yet by any means.
