Theoretically speaking means talking about a situation or concept.

Theoretically every time you toss a coin there is exactly the same likelihood that you will get a head or a tail.... and if ten heads turn up in a row it doesn't change the odds of getting a tail on the eleventh toss.

But, in practice, there is a strong likelihood that the eleventh toss will be another head.

That's because when speaking theoretically, all coins are evenly balanced, and they area always tossed exactly the same way - but we know that in practice, a coin has been knocked and bumped and chipped and worn by the time it gets to us, and so small imperfections affect its balance.

Another "theoretically speaking" concept is that in any country the 'average' family has X people in it.... and yet you could go around the children in a school and ask all of them about their family size and the average could be way off the expected figure... that's because the 'average' family is a theoretical family, one which has no influencing factors on it.... but the children in the school all come from the one part of a town or district and will tend to reflect that area more than the overall national average
