The answer to my rhetorical falls in the collective lap of the NCAA Men's and Women's Committees and really has nothing to do with the Scorebok itself. Software was developed that that could be used as electronic score books and the software was such that it could not differentiate between the separate numbers of 0 and 00. And that is why a Team can only have a 0 or a 00 and not both.

I half wonder why 00 was ever permitted in the first place. It’s not like the software could distinguish between 01 and 1 any better than it could between 00 and 0, yet we don’t see 01 as a legal option like 00 is.

I won’t die unhappy if I never learn the truth, though.
