The same is true of most (probably all) of the places
where we show a dimmed menu item: the action is
"inapplicable". That doesn't mean that showing it is
"wrong" and that "nothing can be learned" from seeing it.
A lot CAN be learned from such info. That's why we
(and zillions of other applications) show it - dimmed.

Why not?
Are you saying that this _cannot_ be done or only that
you've decided that it "won't" be done? If the latter,
why?

See above. It's not misleading, if you dim it.
Showing "Edit > Cut" is not misleading when "Cut"
is "inapplicable" but it is dimmed to show that
cutting is not currently available.
