Everyone else in the world seemed to be stunned, including by how quickly the consensus emerged after the wings' preferred candidates didn't get enough traction. I didn't say anyone learned how to run a conclave from watching the movie. I said cardinals watched it to get a sense of the process, given that the report simply stated that (a) a number of cardinals had watched it and (b) a number of the participants had never gone through a conclave before.
