What makes it impossible, a condradiction perhaps, but where?
What I mean is that (as far I know) there is no musical context in which F# could function as the root of that chord. We'd always hear one of the other notes as the more sensible root. It's like taking the notes of A minor (A C & E) and calling it E sus 4 b6. based on the root E. That's possible in theory, but not in practice, as we'd always hear it as plain old A minor built on the root A, not E sus4 b6.
