The observer being a part of the observation is the point i thought you were making (a weird truth in  quantum physics). The above (over my head ) post by peragrinbf he mentions particle physics  and there activities on the quantum level.

I think you might be confusing "the observer changes what is observed" with confirmation bias.

But what the heck do I know?

I seem to be mixing the two - the human predisposition to see order and recognize patterns (the photo of brain/ universe) "confirmation bias" and the observers method of observation changing what is observed (quantum physics) are different. The observer being a part of (influence on) the observation applies to both
