Why can't we write numbers with as many significant figures as we want?

Because some part of your equation has a figure that limits how many sig figs you can use. Remember the number of sig figs is symbolic of how precise the initial measurements were. For example the number 2.4 is not as precise as 2.45298. So your answer can only be as precise as the LEAST precise measurement you have taken or been given. So in my example above if 2.4 is the least precise measurement then you can only have an answer with two sig figs.
