Does it affect the experiment if it’s a translucent box? Nobody said anything about “slightly observing” right?

Wait, you didn't edit, and even then it doesn't make sense?

To explain what I THINK you're saying, is that the cat is still in a state of superposition before you enter the room since you don't know what happened, but that doesn't work because the conditions are not adequatly defined

Either way, Schrodingers argument wast that superposition in which an argument and it's negation are both true until observed is a idea and violates the law of noncontradiction. It was co-opted by proponents of superposition through the supreme argumentative tactic of "nuh-uh"
