And that is not the only piece. Many quantum experiments are such that they HAVE TO remove the observer.

Yes this would matter if the scientific method were only referring to observation as using your own eyes and senses. We collect data with our tools.

The only reason we know that the physical observer observing the experiment impacted things at a quantum level is due to collecting data when they were NOT physically observing it.

So if you are hung up on OBSERVATION as being a person with their native senses you would be correct.

That is not what it means in the scientific method. You can use other tools to observe. Sometimes the method doesn't say observation it simply says COLLECT DATA.

I tend to use observation because usually it is someone noticing something with their own senses that makes them ask a question...

As we get deeper into things beyond our senses this is less often the way it occurs.
