One way to picture of course: the thing being said is already lying on the path that everyone can see. Nobody has to announce it and nobody has to decide about it, because it was always what came next. Saying of course puts a small stamp on a point — this part was never in question. Sometimes the stamp goes on a fact you are stating; sometimes it goes on your answer to another person.
