Yes, it means more looking, but it also means the repudiation of the theory that makes it "unexpected".

Theory didn't make it unexpected; prejudice alone did. High-temperature superconductors didn't overthrow the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer theory of superconductivity, but boy, howdy, was that ever a shock. It's revelations like that that make being a scientist worthwhile.

We are not "talking" about superconductivity, we are "talking" about RMNS and evolution. Physics makes sense apart from superconductivity, but "Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution".
