Yes, of course. The only point I'm contesting is the assertion that a single 
interaction with a single particle is enough to collapse the waveform and 
serve as an "observation".

Who says they shouldn't?

Probability. You *can* walk thru the wall. The odds against it happening are 
just 1^-1000.

Just like you *can* randomly shuffle a deck of cards and come up with Ace 
thru King in each suit in order when you're done. It's just so phenomenally 
rare that you'd never expect to see it happen.
