I am "not surprised" by this finding by itself no more than by any new finding. The difference here is that it involves what are considered and probably are fundamental ideas. So, are the consequences that give it importance, not the thing in itself.
I have educated my self to not take anything for granted.

..but since you are not a physicist or scientist of any kind, you CAN adopt the attitude that particles can travel faster than light without looking too silly, and without any consequence. However, previously, physicists did not only had to accept that but also all their theoretical architecture was based on that. And since that CAN change (let us wait for other groups to confirm the results) new and exciting things might come in the future.
