In the secondary, new-age definition of "literally" yes that's true.

We lost the war for "literally". It's now just an emphasis word. The definition is mind bending:

1)in a literal manner or sense; exactly.

2)informal; used for emphasis or to express strong feeling while not being literally true.

On the bright side less people use "absolutely" incorrectly than before.
