~isn’t necessarily wrong[/vc_column_text][dfd_spacer screen_wide_spacer_size=”60″ screen_normal_resolution=”1024″ screen_tablet_resolution=”800″ screen_mobile_resolution=”480″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Notes :
The adverb あながち is used with a negative predicate, indicating that the proposition implied in the context is not necessarily false. For example:
バーチャル指揮者ソフトが売れているところを見ると、一度は指揮者になってみたいというのは、あながち僕だけの願望ではないらしい。
Judging by how well virtual conducting software has been selling, apparently I’m not necessarily the only one who’d like to try orchestra conducting at least once in my life.
The writer initially thought that there were not many people who would want to conduct an orchestra. But because software for virtual conducting is selling well, he modified his initial judgement.

His guess may not necessarily be wrong.
最後の一章はやや蛇足とも思えるが、そのエピソードは読んでいて気分がいい。ということは、あながち蛇足とは言えないということか。
I felt like the last chapter wasn’t quite necessary, but it feels good to read it. So, I guess it’s not so superfluous after all.
蛇足（だそく）：redundancy; superfluity; useless addition
皮膚のpHが体調によっても変わるとすれば、「気分次第で色が変わる口紅」というのもあながち嘘ではない。If it’s true that the pH of your skin changes depending on your health, then “ the lipstick that changes its color depending on your mood” isn’t necessarily a lie.

But there are cases where 必ずしも～ない cannot be replaced by あながち～ない, as shown in [1], where the speaker/writer doesn’t give some objective reason. In [2], where the speaker/writer doesn’t gives an objective reason in the preceding context, both adverbs can be used.
