Why do physicists assume that in the double slit experiment there is no interference from neutrinos (or perhaps from photons) BETWEEN the slits and the wall that cause electrons to act like waves?

The double slit experiment indicates that electrons act like both particles and waves. However, when we measure the electrons at the slit, they act like particles. My question is, when we DON'T observe them at the slit, is it possible that there is some other tiny particle (or maybe force) that is causing electrons to create a wavelike pattern on the wall? It seems to me that even simply turning on a light could interfere with electrons after they pass through the slits. Am I completely wrong on this? Why have physicists resorted to explaining it by saying that electrons pass through BOTH slits and interfere with themselves?

Interference and waves aside, the probability of the electrons interacting with neutrinos is really really small, so small that in any reasonable time frame using any reasonable double slit setup there would not be any measurable effect from electron-neutrino interactions.
