I agree Peter.
It (so) seems to get used as something of an "ummmmmm" to start a sentence and I would say that usage has become popular in the last 5 to 10 years. I think a statement sounds more powerful or more of an imperative without it. In some uses it can also come across as or seem a little arrogant.
