I think most have been a bit surprised. But sometimes one wants to be surprised.
It has been suggested thta those engineers pulled off a "Scotty".
(Think of the
Star Trek: The Next Generation episode with Scotty where he admitted to giving exagerated estimates of how long things would take to fix in order to keep up a reputation of being a miracle worker.)
For the record I think that there is no chance that Spirit or Opportunity will make it to 20 years.
