This is a bit off-topic, but this always bothers me. Just because we're discussing a topic doesn't mean we're surprised by it. Some data being new and worth discussing doesn't mean it broke from expectations.
You can see the same thing in this other thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21146856 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21146856 No one is clutching their pearls, folks. We're just having a conversation.
- jraph 7y agoYou might be right, but I would understand "I'm not surprised" as a way to introduce an opinion or an analysis, rather than as something like "It would be dumb to be surprised". Though to be fair, I had a similar reaction when I saw the title as the commenter of your link (more like, "Well, no shit!"). I still find the conversation and the points of view of everyone here interesting, I would not be here otherwise. I would be particularly interested by someone who would indeed be surprised and offer an analysis I could not see.
