Not surprising, but interesting nonetheless

I find a lot of studies lead to results that make me think "well….yeah".  But, I always find them interesting.  In this case (and quite often in other cases), it's on a subject I hadn't even considered before.

Which then makes me wonder if I'm not suffering from a type of pernicious hindsight bias.  Maybe if I had thought about the subject before, I would have come to different conclusions and thus would be surprised to find these results?
