Thank you for keeping me on my feet!

You probably mean the following (note the nuance and date of the first one):

I still think my point, originally about 1 electron split into 2 locations, or “ends” of string (but devolving to a complaint about casual ignorance of the central issue in publications) hasn’t been completely destroyed, because here you are measuring interference of 2 anyons, somewhat like measuring the interference of a photon “with itself” in a double split experiment.

The broader point could be that the effect of a single photon is “localized”, but here to see the effect, you have to move 1 anyon in a “complete path” around the other, recalling the Feynman/Dirac belt in my top level comment, a trick I said an adult should try to correct me with :)
