” The truth is, they were all wrong.”

Perhaps not well stated.

Elements of the experiment were ‘right’. But the overall conclusion was wrong.

To help clear up the matter, I’ll just ask you.

Did the observation cause the outcome?

Since there is no way to observe the outcome, without observing the experiment, can we ever know?

P.S.

Are we influencing the outcome of the trials of these FLDS men by observing the indictments?

Observation causes the wave/function to collapse and our observation can determine the outcome. The question really is, does the wave/function collapse without observation?

Since there is no way to observe the outcome, without observing the experiment, can we ever know?

Which was Schrodinger's point : )
