Why not? Both mystics and politicians often find it useful to attempt the impossible. Besides, "can't be done" overstates the case. It's more like "can't be done without fundamentally altering the nature of reality in ways that can't be predicted, but which might possibly not result in the destruction of everything." Arguably not all that different from Lunar policies towards Chaos, Godlearner experimentation, the EWF, or the Broken Council's wonderful "Oh, I know, let's make a perfect god" scheme.

If I were to pose a question about Lunar strategy, it would be why "We are All Us" seems to have degenerated into "We are All Us except Them". Perhaps the current expression of the goddess is being limited by it's expression in a solar context. When will the wheel turn, and the red moon make way for her white sister?
