Fortunately for us, however, our observations are consistent and, as Hara
noted, 100% true. While "which slit did the photon pass through?" seems
like a precise question, this may be because we think about the world from
the perspective of Newtonian mechanics; if you had to diffract onto a
screen to get to work in the morning, you'd quickly get the sense that
this question isn't quite as basic as we might think.
