Because it could be getting inherited from another element, and CSS tends to be based in stylesheets which you aren't in the middle of viewing, and the rules start getting tricky?

Unless you have a very good memory for all the CSS you put in...

The Live CSS view in calibre editor (Sigil does NOT have such a tool) is designed to simplify for you which classes, elements, and ids they possess or inherit from, (what rules from where affect each element,) and links to the locations where those rules can be edited.
