And you are missing the other half.

What i am hung up on is that the observer can completely change the experiment outcome,
not just by observation, but also because of their desire for a specific outcome.

In the future, we will have to include data collectors mood, expected outcomes, biases (and yes this will be a moving target) and many other things that affect the outcome as part of the data collection.

The human is part of the experiment.
And cannot be separated.

The scientific method will have to be reworked to include this.
