Hey, I  just realized, his story yields a paradox!

I can do the  following:  I have the two envelopes, results and
detector.  I  open the results envelope with the following conviction:
if there is an  interference pattern, I will open the detector
envelope.  If there is  no interference pattern, I will burn the
detector envelope.  Hence,  there will be an interference pattern
inside the results envelope if and  only if there is no interference
pattern inside the results  envelope.

Hence, the situation K describes is  impossible.

QED.
