Well, it's not obvious because it's not actually true.
While having an evil alignment is by far the most common reason to detect
as evil, it is not the only way.
Also, even when the evil detected is based on alignment, there is no
difference detected between the guy who is just barely of an evil
alignment, (e.g. someone who needs to only give a single copper to a
beggar to change that E to an N), and the most vile man in history:
Provided they are of the same level.
