I think the word "surprised" gets a lot of unfair implication added. (Usually in the format, "why are you surprised that..." or "you shouldn't be surprised that..."). "Surprise" just isn't as dramatic an emotion as people seem to imply. It's not like the word "shocked". I might be surprised that a one-in-five occurrence happens. It doesn't mean I had some kind of conviction that it wouldn't.

Yes. More like, "I wouldn't have bet on it but ok".
