Okay, I'll take this Observation-Locks-Reality thing to its next strategic implication.


"What the hell was that?  I saw something moving in those bushes!"
"Leave it be."
"What?  It could be a Nemesis?"
"Yeah, but more likely it's us coming back later to fine-tune what we're doing right now."


As Sydney says, if you've observed something in detail that makes it much harder for you to change it.  Which gives you a good reason for not obsessively observing everything in detail.  Leave yourself some ambiguity and you'll be able to come back later if you need to.

Heh. But be careful we don't get too Back to the Future Part II....
