You just have one goal: get it on the ground safelly as soon as possible, don't waste time on checks that don't help at all or don't improve the situation, those pilots had enough on their hands as it was.

If you mean an outside check before engine startup, well, those as usually done before boarding, a ground crew member might have altered something on the engine after that, it's pretty common that the pilots trust the ground crew and not perform a second outside check when a ground crew member opened a panel.
