If it's all just math, what is the unexpected surprise that makes it
funny? Is math surprised that its math?
It is of course only surprising for those deluded (assuming comp) into
thinking that there is some primitive non mathematical reality, like
the aristotelian theologian, who believe in a non mathematical
primitively physical universe.
The real surprise, in the arithmetic internal views, is the existence
of the universe (not the fact that it is not a primitive).
The absence of X, if proved, would surprise the believers in X, in a
same way.
"Surprised" is prejudice dependent.
