How come quantum particles don't consider the paper (at the bottom of this illustration) an observation device, but cameras, eyes and photos it act's predictably for?

Me no think good but this is wierd right? Shouldn't the particles act in the observed manner if the paper itself is a tool to an observer?

It does.

The difference is that the observation of the electrons happens before passing through the slits.

What are electrons? They are perturbations in a medium. But what is said medium? No one has even begun to answer this latter question.

Background electromagnetic radiation
Also called cosmic rays
Light uses this as a medium.

the double slit experiment was published after realizing the equipment was faulty. I don't think this has been corrected in mainstream distributions.

I believe it is more accurate to consider an "observation" as any interaction with another system.

It's not or but xor, creator of paper is unintelligent and know nothing about logic.

No, a field.

If you knew any physics you would know that this "medium" has been addressed for about 120 years now
