As to wether or not run when you know you're hopelessly uncompetitive...well, Minardi does that week in and week out, and they keep coming back for more. They believe they'll eventually get there, or they believe its worth it just for being where they are. I agree. I don't think the Michelin teams are entirely blameless since I think they could've run...but maybe in the long run what they did is the necessary catalyst for the necessary wholesale change everyone knows is necessary.

All Michilin tired cars took a warm up lap then parked. Probably the death of a USGP for a few years. Sheesh and some people say that the SCCA and NASCRAP is a political mess.....
