Nothing indicates that he doesnt know why. He notes it didnt work but he isnt like "OMFG WHY DIDNT IT WORK?! STUPID JUTSU"

For all we know he tried it to see if it could be done.

Not knowing secrets that only 2-3 characters knows doesnt mean he doesnt know things about other things.

There is no indication that he didnt find it elsewhere.

The fact that there are legends and myths about the sword and its mechanics are proof that it existed without Itachi

TB is also not listed as a Kekkei Genkai There are a number of non-dojutsu techniques in his aresenal.

The argument that it is a part of Itachi's Susanoo or that it can only be located in his eye is flawed because someone before Itachi had it and it isnt listed as Kekkei Genkai or dojutsu Black Zetsu is literally lying his ass off about who he actually is, but you're welcome to trust him all you wish. Just don't ask me to.

Orochimaru tried to see if he could do something that he should've known was impossible, according to you. Or according to me, he had no clue it was impossible and simply failed as he'd done many times.

Not knowing secrets that only 2-3 characters knows doesn't mean he does know things about other things either. There is no indication that Itachi found SoT and YM at all.

Legends and myths prove somebody had the jutsu before Itachi, just like somebody had Susanoo before Itachi.

Is the SoT listed as Bukijutsu, like the techniques of the Bashōsen?

What did the databook list the Sword of Nunoboko that we all saw Obito pull out of his anus, you know, that big black thing that was the stuff of myth and legend?

I very clearly said Itachi's "major powers" were doujutsu. Surely you're not going to claim breathing fire is a major power.

Someone had Susanoo before Itachi. Neither is it listed as a ninja tool.
