"Observation is also a type of intervention" is a philosophy that Prof. Edgar Schein of MIT has been advocating for the past several decades. Schein's thoughts have been influenced by Kurt Lewin's Field Theory where basic unit of analysis is a group and not an individual within the group. Kurt Lewin was a psychologist and was influenced by Einstein's field theory. So you are on the right track :-) e.g. see a related article: <a href="http://cataligninnovation.blogspot.com/2010/12/when-does-intervention-begin-story-of.html" rel="nofollow">Where does an intervention begin?</a>. Vinay Binnur,
