Perhaps you think it's a lame answer, but I can point you at many previous questions that want to do exactly this.
If the OP had meant to consider these additional parameters where this might make sense, I'd wager they would have been more specific than just asking why you can't do it. But maybe I'm wrong, I'm guessing what they are asking is, like all the other questions, insensible.
