Thanks for this. Was getting tired of seeing people claim that our eyeballs change the photon path somehow and was getting ready to type.

For anyone familiar with circuits, it's the same concept as understand why connecting an ammeter or voltmeter changes the value you measure. That is, a miniscule resistance must be attached in series or in parallel, respectively, to observe/measure the current or voltage, which inherently changes the current or voltage.
