Because there's no alignment between the pixels in the graphics cards and the arragement of phosphors on the face of the monitor, there's no way to accurately model the area illuminated by a single component. A single component from a single pixel will always generate a nearly gaussian spot on the monitor which will hit one or more elements, many of which will be the right color. CRTs have many advantages, but a simple illumination model is not one of them, and attempting to model the actual pattern of light is impractical with our current mechanisms.
