The point is that you cannot accurately measure ANYTHING without a change in the item being measured taking place.
An example: photons (the 'particles' of light) can and will erode any surface they come in contact with. Our friend the laser is proof of this. While the argument may be made that a laser beam is collumnated light, and that standard light can't do the same thing, that does not stand to reason. If light in any form is able to erode and or damage matter, then ALL forms of light must be able to do the same thing, simply on a different (in this case rather minute) scale.
