Indeed - and if it came to a choice, I'd rather forego the insulation test in favour of a thorough inspection. Eyes, ears fingertips and nose can be very good at detecting things meters can miss.
I think a few years ago there was a discussion about which test was the most important, in a sort of Desert Island Discs way ' if you could only take one meter with you ?' sort of way. We decide that an R2 test was the most useful, as any other fault would become obvious in a safe way on switch on.
I think for PAT or EICR then similar considerations often apply.
