Is there a reason why I couldn't use that under the wood floor as opposed to tearing it out and putting down the padding???

• You will void your flooring manufacturer's warranty.
• The carpet will retain moisture like a sponge.
• It will flex way to much. Remember this is supposed to feel like old wood flooring.
• Extra weight of the carpet. Not a whole lot, but it is weight.
• You will have to deal with the extra 1/2" thickness at the transitions at the door, cabinets and bath.
