Why is a melting point range always observed when a melting point is measured using a conventional melting point apparatus?

In a commercial melting point instrument, the melting point capillary rests on top of a metal block (usually aluminum) that is being heated at a constant rate. Therefore, during the time it takes to visually recognize complete melting of the solid, the temperature is observed as a range, Tinitial to Tfinal, not a point.
