Why is Merge Selected greyed out?

?I am working with a file with many many sub layers and illustrator is running really slow and keeps crashing. I want to merge many of the sublayers into one layer to save space and help simplify the file, But after I select the layers the Merge Selected option under the layers menu is still greyed out and unable to be used. Anyone know how to get merge selected to work? Or any other way to merge layers?

Why is Merge Selected greyed out?

You're not going to like this and your going to respond with a WHAT!? But here goes, the sub layers are already by definition merged they are contain within a top level layer.

There can be no merging since they already are merged.

Top level layers on the other hand cane be along with their sub layers.

That's it.

I know what you're thinking what the閳?
