The idea
Observation records behavior directly, either naturalistically, in the natural setting with no control, or in a laboratory, where confounds can be controlled at a cost.
In practice

Where people slip
People change their behavior when they know they are watched, the Hawthorne effect, which laboratory observation cannot remove.
