In general, low-level boundaries will have lots of tiny interactions crossing them which don’t conceptually seem like “actions” or “observations”.
While this seems obviously true at a low enough level—wherefore art thou, nanotech? - viruses and the like mean that even if systems work well enough most of the time, sometimes they don’t keep interactions involving small parts from having big consequences. (Also, what causes cancer aside from smoke and ‘genetics’?)

Indeed! This implies that physical smallness is not a perfect correlate of the conceptual “smallness of an interaction”.
