Isn't it fairly straightforward? The object is to measure the **RF 
power**, and if the measurement is made with a bandwidth lower than that 
of the signal, the power indicated must be lower than it really is - 
some power didn't get through the bandwidth-defining filter.

For DSB AM, the RF bandwidth is *twice* the modulation bandwidth.
