Pre-emptively?

[Clai Rice]

This may be too late (I'm on digest mode), but how about
"stupefyingly customary"?

I am looking for an adverb that I can use (for example) to
precede "customary" to give the meaning "so customary that
no one would ever think of anything else".  Pre-emptively?
presumptively?  Help!

Thanks,
Joel
