I did, yeah. Isn’t that what you do when you don’t understand someone’s decision? What does that have to do with a behavior being surprising?
Imagine you were getting to know someone. Then they reveal that they are devout followers of Scientology. You are surprised. You ask what’s up. They give an explanation roughly on par with the stuff you wrote above. Are you surprised the next time you meet a person who turns out to be a Scientologist?
Yes, because it is weird. Things can be shocking and also explainable.
