Because TKD 6.2.5 tells us not to.  Regarding sentence-as-object, page 66 
says, "In complex sentences of this type, the second verb never takes an 
aspect suffix."

Marc Okrand *has* violated this himself at least once -- in a Skybox card -- 
but the large number of other mistakes in these cards makes me believe that 
this was just an error.
