The physical meaning of the conditions (3.46) imposed on gravitational field measurements becomes more obvious if one considers the mathematical description of the interaction between the field one intends to measure and the measurement body acting otherwise as a source of the field. Such considerations generalize our remarks related to formula (3.17) to the effective (phenomenological) equations of quantum gravity.
