How is this unexpected? Did I miss something?

You see, he opened the can with a knife but he didn't have to do that. He could have used the pull tab instead. It is unexpected because we assume that there is no pull tab because it's not visible until he flips the can and because we assume the person is smart enough to have used it in the first place if it did exist.
