In point of fact and having taken logic 101, your blanket statement is untrue! under 'down the throat torpedo shots' on wiki, up pops USS GUDGEON, USS PAMPANITO in addition to Mushbby. Not always successful due poor gyros(in real life) etc. but certainly attempted BY REAL WORLD COMMANDERS!. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Down_the_throat

 my own use of the tactic involves using a high-speed steam 'eel' (not electric); waiting ...mindful of the torpedo's arming distance (300)and at under 500 meters, launching a shallow 1 meter shot, wait till the strike, then hit crash-dive with a hard 90 turn at full speed...this can get dicey, as in SH-V the destroyer, already 'bow down' and sinking, has collided with my diving boat with dire consequences.
