Not sure I follow you, but if you mean:
It doesn't account for the dissipation of the board itself, then I think thats the idea.
If you mean it doesn't account for energy fed into the CPU but dissipated elsewhere then the CPU, I don't think thats all that significant. Most signals are in the milliamp range and at 1.5-3v, so they don't carry all that much power. Probably less significant then the differences in load from the CPU itself over time anyway.
