Bit convoluted but the gist of it is this:

as exciting as [thing], which is to say [very]

thing = very

As exciting as very

Very exciting

English is kind of scuffed in that the order of words only sounds correct or not based on how often you've heard it said that way before.

There's supposed to be a comma before "very", right?
