That's not really reasoning, just self-fulfilling prophecy. Hebrew was revived, and I can't see a solid reason why the same could not be done on a smaller scale.

The question isn't can a language be revived, it is should a language be revived. I am of the opinion that it was a mistake to revive Hebrew, as doing so has needlessly introduced language barriers.

It also turned out to be a consensus language for Jews from around the world that moved to Mandatory Palestine and later Israel.

As I understand it, there was already a language barrier in Yiddish vs. Judeo-Arabic.
