You know what gets me with what is said these days..."scientists are surprised at......". That is either beat up for the news bulletins or they're not as smart as they think they are. In some cases it's a genuine surprise at what they find, but for the most part, just a little bit of logical thinking would've told them what was going on. If they're incapable of doing that and find themselves scratching their heads over situations a competent high school science student could figure out, then they shouldn't be doing science.
Anyone with half a brain could've told them why the hot spots on these Hot Jupiters were offset from the antisolar point. It's simple physics and a little bit of deductive reasoning.
