This is a very unfortunate pop science reading of it. By 'observer' they don't mean "person looking at / aware of the experiment". There's no causal power afforded to "the experimenter's awareness" such that the phenomenon changes just because it's being given attention by the researcher. By observation, they mean "measurement", which is a form of interference. It's as mysterious as noting that the volume of water in a graduated cylinder changes when one dips a ruler into it to measure its depth.
