> would have been shocked and in disbelief

Not directly related to your point, but I feel people are just constantly shocked and in disbelief about a whole bunch of things, and all that shock and disbelief amounts to practically nothing in the end.

People will stand there slack-jawed as the steam-roller barrels toward them. "Oh this is shocking", "I can't believe this is happening".

Incredulity is not a useful thought-pattern.
