"...separate from the observer."

This has no basis in fact.

"Their expectations affect the observation."

Neither does this.

There's plenty wrong with the scientific industrial complex today, from censorship and corruption, to chasing publication and outright fraud. You're just not reporting data accurately. Wishes aren't horses and beggars don't ride.
