Need some education: Man-in-the-Middle Attacks

All,

Please pardon my naivete.

I was looking at the diagram on the URL listed below and contemplating
how host fingerprinting prevents MITM attacks.

So my question is this... Given the illustration in the URL above, what
prevents Eve from *first* contacting Alice to obtain a fingerprint which
then gets passed to Bob on the first connection attempt?
