must probably VS must

Such extrem cases must probably be taken with a grain of sault, but they do underline the general principle that the relationship between elephant and mahout is the key to successful training.
Is the sentence the same meaning if I take off "probably"?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, No. Must indicates 100% necessity. Must probably indicates a high % of necessity, but less that 100%.
