    That’s actually the real lesson from the experiment. The detectors impart a small but real energy barrier and change the distribution pattern of the electron

    Basically if you hold up a ruler to something human scale it doesn’t effect the thing your measuring much. But when you are trying to measure a basketball with something the size of a gymnasium you have to really launch that fucking basketball to open a door and the door has a very noticeable affect on the trajectory of the ball.
