Because the front runners are used to Jordan and Minardi dodging, no matter what the track. The Yellow and Black rolling chicanes don't require testing the way a perma chicane does. And doing that just hours before the race would have made things just as dangerous.
If someone were to miss the braking zone for the chicane coming up on another car, you get the possibility for a very, very nasty wreck Remember what happened to Coulthard at Monaco last year when Sato's engine whited out the water front and Fisichella launched off the back of his McLaren? I'm thinking that same scenario would have been played out at least once during the USGP had that chicane been put there

Your still missing it... Im saying if the michelin guys just drove at reduced speed.

The difference in speeds when considering michelin runners going through turn 13 at their reduced speed is about 70-90mph....

I missed where they gave an acceptable speed. Not to mention what about those that slow down for tire issues, for instance kimi a few weeks ago?
