There's no reason its not really, it would just be weird and probably not advance us in understanding (or be provable). Also as you say, if it is a cipher that uses a look-up book.. we are likely doomed without the book.
On the general line of thinking though, which seems to be reductionist, I think you may find this worthwhile to read - You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.. It's at least good food for thought.
I tried to understand some parts of the text in your link, but I think if it is a rule...why there are exceptions? But its the same with the cz (ch), sometimes the writer puts a dot (or something) on top of it and sometimes not.
If it was right, we wouldn't still be here talking about the mystery of the VM. But there is a lot to be learned from what has not succeeded so far.
If I could give any advice to newer people, it would be to learn from what has been done so far because years of knowledge can be absorbed in a night or two even if it seems flawed.
