Probably because they don't apply he can't say them in red.
Can't and didn't are two very different things.

Oh, ok, I see how you could make it work. Small bombs logic in use is a wonderful solution, definitely better than Shkannotrice.
My point is not that it's a better theory, just that Shkanon can't be taken as the one single solution. You can't deny it either. The only way to win this game is with a theory machine gun, rather than the sniper rifle you use in most mystery novels. Also c'mon, smashed head is a bit better than small bombs! Just a bit!
