at any rate
— used to indicate that something is true or certain regardless of what else has happened or been said
▪ This restaurant has the best food—or at any rate, the best pasta dishes—in the city. ▪ At any rate [=in any case], cooking with fresh ingredients makes everything taste better. ▪ It is possible that she was nervous. At any rate, her singing was still good.
Are "at any rate" and "in any rate" interchangeable only in the second example?
