"The observation or non-observation at the slit permitted the particle to still pass through. This shows that even an observation which permits something to pass through will change the behavior of the quantum mechanical particle/wave going through."
But having the physical mechanism to observe at the slit does not collapse the wave. Only HUMAN observation (or the the possibility of human observation [the recording of data from the sensor]) collapses the wave.
On the other hand, human observation of the final screen does not collapse the wave when there is no human observation at the slit (or the possibility of human observation).
