Quantum Zeno effect
Measure a particle and it is in one position. Stop measuring it, come back and measure again, and it is in another position. It moves only when it's not observed. Of course that is impossible, the particle is constantly interacting with everything around it, it is never un-observed.
Well, unless you are not measuring the particle, but rather a net-effect between the particle and the observer. Then each time you measure it, you have a fresh observer, so a different net-effect in a different position.
But you can hide that flaw in a model, the simulator simulates the model, not the real world. So it works in the simulator!
Take an entanglement experiment. A crystal emits two photons, those photons head off in opposing directions to be detected by detector Bob and detector Alice respectively. Their measured properties at Alice and Bob do not correlate. Yet if you filter for one or more properties (successful entanglement), then the remaining properties all now correlate. A statistical test, the Bells test is proof there is no nefarious hidden variables between the measurement at Alice and the measurement at Bob, so the act of measuring the photon at Alice must be setting the properties of the photon at Bob. A spooky distance effect, impossible, yet it must be true because there is no other explanation.
Well except....
Alice and Bob and the emitter are all clamped to the same test rig. The motions of alice and bob are linked to that of the emitter. There is definitely a variable correlating them, they all move the same way. This experiment only produces a subset of experimental results filtered for the same motion. It is not even hidden and it is not flagged by the Bells test because the Bells test only operates on the post-filtered experimental result.
So the properties like wavelength, polarization etc. are net effects between observer Alice and Bob and the photons. The photons have defined opposing properties, and the only thing you are correlating are Alice and Bob's oscillating state, such that the net effect then correlates. Since there are more Combinational properties than independent properties, there are more net effects than actual independent effects. So you only need to filter for a few of those combinations to cause all to net effect properties to correlate.
Slap a VR headset on every Quantum Physicist, they can live in an unreal world, I don't think therapy is enough.
