What is bafflingly inconceivable, yet not surprising, to you today?

So, a friend of a friend knows someone who told him about a guy REDACTED who told him the following story based on actual events*:
Redacted Redacted Redacted Redacted Redacted Redacted Redacted.  Redacted Redacted Redacted. But it gets even stupider than that. Redacted Redacted  is lying!

???


*Very actual

This sounds like a Sun Tzu thing. Did Napolean study Sun Tzu.?

Re: What is bafflingly inconceivable, yet not surprising, to you today?

This factoid kind of fits the idea.
Yesterday I learned that during the Depression and on in to 
WW2, the need for protein and other things led to the harvest, packaging and shipping of 600,000 tons of Pacific Sardines, every year for ten or more.
That was in large part out of Monterey's cannery row.
A limit of 25,000 tons since has led to barely that much being available today.
