Are water changes detrimental to cycling?

water changes are always detrimental.

Tedd...
What do mean by this?
When a tank is cycling you must do water changes otherwise the ammonia levels
would rise to dangerous levels.
Many people think that by doing a water change during the cycling process that
they will be removing too many of the benificial bacteria...however, these
bacteria are sticky and adhere to any surface in the tank. They don't free
float in the water.
