[DF] Why isn't Detects as Evil more of a disadvantage?

Well I got dog-piled for asking about detects as evil. But I still say in my defense, there is no setting or cosmology for DF so I still think in AD&D terms where almost all of the major monsters, especially magical ones, have the Know Alignment power so I felt that a person who detects as evil or good in this world would be at a big disadvantage. But the way it stands now with very few people being able to detect good or evil it makes gaming better because being able to tell if a person is good or evil really pigeon-holes them. "Do we attack this person/monster?" "Yes, his/its alignment is chaotic evil!"
