Well, that's odd because elsewhere on the Internet perhaps Wikipedia it mentions that when the photons entering the slits are monitored the tell tale interference pattern is observed on the other side, proving that the photons are acting as particles when they enter the slits and waves when they produce the interference pattern. So, regretfully, your source is wrong. I already said the double slit experiment proves wave particle duality and doesn't really have anything to do with what you are saying it does, the whole decoherence thing. All particles including photons and electrons and even bowling balls act simultaneously as waves and particles. So, if you could devise an experiment to test bowling balls with slits they could go through the results would be the same: the bowling balls would act as particles and waves simultaneously. That was the big news about Young's experiment. Hel-loooo!
