Because the concept is incoherent. In particular there's no (empirical) way to distinguish between an l-zombie and a normal person - by definition, an l-zombie acts exactly like a normal person. Or put another way, I assert that you're already an l-zombie.
Thanks for explaining. However, an l-zombie would act exactly like a normal person (would actually be a normal person, even) if it physically existed somewhere and did stuff. But it doesn't, by definition of "l-zombie". I think trist and satt and learnmethis are making similar points to what I am trying to say here, in their comments. If I have failed to explain my objection adequately, those comments might help.
