Is very important to note that in any measurement the process of measuring disturbs what we are measuring.
For everyday life the measurement instruments are desgned in a way that the pertubation is insignificant so we can ignore the error commited;
In Quantics the story is rather different, as the thing we are measuring are so small, so tiny that it's impossible to not disturb what we are observing, many times the perturbation is mych bigger than what we are measuring. We have no means and no ways of making an instrument that does't disturb what we are measuring.
Quantics takes into account the perturbations that we introdce and try extract some usefull information. In a limit when the perturbation is so big and what is observed is so small the result is nothing and we know nothing of what we wanted to measure.
The day we discover a way to do an instrument that doesn't disturb in a significant way what we are observing then we can return gack to Classic Physics and measure an electron without Quantics, for example.
Stupidity also evolves!
