That's exactly it.

I have a teeeny-tiny issue with the "cannot be observed" part. We have not figured out what it is yet, but "cannot be observed" is often interpreted as "it is impossible to observe it, now or ever".

It's a bit like an ancient Greek claiming that we will never know what a lightning is made from.
