用法: 実はそうではない
まず前件で前提となる事実を述べ、その事実から必然的に導き出される結果を否定します。

前件では「からといって/からって/からとて」が呼応することもあり、後件では「~ではない」「必ずしも~とは限らない」などの言い方で否定します。

the clause before かといえば states something hypothetical that is expected to be true, but this expected outcome is negated/doesn't happen, stated in the latter clause.

similarly, the clause before 「からといって/からって/からとて」 describes the likely hypothetical, which is then denied in the latter clause, using phrasing such as 「~ではない」「必ずしも~とは限らない」

【A】。しかし【B】かと言うと【そうではない】
【A】からと言って【B】かと言うと【そうではない】
