Heh, more English corner cases.  "Theoretically" and "in theory" mean
the same thing, but "practically" and "in practice" don't.  Or.. they
do in theory, but not in practice :p.  For bonus confusion, saying
"practically speaking" would, in this context, mean what you expected,
but "practically" on its own doesn't - it means basically the same as
"almost" or "nearly".
