Because Tegmark 4 isn't mainstream enough yet to get it down to one.

If there is a way to reduce it to zero or not is one discovery I'm much looking forward to, but there probably isn't. It certainly seems totally impossible, but that only really means "I can't think of a way to do it".

What would that mean? How do you reduce something to nothing? Or, well, everything to nothing?
