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.
