“they used a measurement technique that has an almost imperceptible impact on the experiment”

Almost imperceptible. If one observes, it changes the results. So we only peeked at the particles and it didn’t matter? Werner Heisenberg has a few things to say about that.

It only changed each observation a little, and they compensated for that by doing many runs.

Werner Heisenberg has a few things to say about that.
