But philosophy aside, I agree that in the beginning Daniel didn't quite know how to reconcile the two halves of Sam's profession. In his defense, when they first meet she's in full geek mode, so it's understandable that it takes him a while to fully embrace the fact that Sam is a fully capable combat veteran and officer, besides the science. Which leads into the understanding that he might initially have thought it strange that she would be attracted towards a man who was more violence than science.
And also, I can conceive the possibility that Daniel might have been genuinely stunned when he saw the two of them in "There but for the Grace of God", since his Jack had declared on multiple occasions that he absolutely detests (most) scientists. So I can understand his shock when Jack's all "C'mere"-hugging to the queen of scientists-- and she's not even military to balance out the geek in her.
However, though Daniel is not the "First Shipper", he is a shipper, so he, like all of us, quickly warmed to the fact that the two of them are absolutely perfect together and no reality is complete without them as a ship.
