The process of acquiring the information itself changes the outcome. That is the difficulty of the pre-determinism argument.
It is like conducting a survey to find out whether people are in favour of a particular government policy or not. As you ask your survey questions, the survey respondent is forced to think about your questions. It is possible that this thinking itself will cause a change in the respondent's opinion of the policy.
In fact, the more questions you ask, and the more detailed the answers you demand, the more likely you will cause a change in the respondent's opinion.
