minis and "pre-measuring" distance controversy

So, I've been in a few games with minis at the last couple of cons I've been to, and apparently "pre-measuring" is a big no-no.

I'm a little lost on this concept, because all the non miniature games I've been in you can always check range to help you decide whether or not you're going to fire.

What's the deal with miniatures and keeping your tape measure holstered until you decide to fire or not?

I don't think this was an issue at the last mini-CW game, but I kept to the etiquette of not measuring ranges until I was certain I was going to fire.
