Is 'As such' used wrongly?

I do not think that "as such" has been used correctly in relation to the first sentence. The correct word, according to me, is "therefore".

I think it's correct. See:

--------
As such it is vitally important for `;softening'; social relationships
and de-stressing moments of close proximity.

As such, of course, it fails to the extent that the attempt to
establish the differentiation fails.

Singaporeans often use "As such" to mean "Therefore", but I was told that the phrase doesn't mean "Therefore", so I was wondering whether the sentence I posted earlier is correct grammatically.

This use of as such in that position strikes me as a literal translation of something from a foreign language, rather than as an idiomatic English use.

Basically, this is the idea.

Something is A. As such (ie as A) , B is something. eg

Hi Hoa Thai,

Reading your post, I have this 2 cents worth...I hope you don't take it negatively

"The shop doesn't sell books as such, but it does sell magazines and newspapers." This is fine without the "but". As such and but don't seem to sound or go well together.
