Comment on As it turns out is quite innocuousparent

Usually "it turns out that x" = x + an indication of surprise that x, or that work was required to determine that x. So you couldn't quite replace it with x without losing meaning.

Certainly, I personally don't have an issue with it's use. Indication of surprise puts it well, as far as I can determine as a non-native speaker.
