For the same reasons, testing cannot be automated. The only people who routinely claim that it can are not those who study and enjoy doing software testing.
In fact, anyone who claims that any human activity has been automated faces a testing problem: how do you know? And a construct validity problem: how do you know that the new process is equivalent to the old in every way we care about?
Anything can be automated if you are allowed to ignore its true nature and make unchallenged claims.
