Each test catches a different kind of change. Visual inspection catches the gross faults - the wrong material, a contaminated load. Moisture content catches an unexpectedly wet consignment. Loss on ignition catches a shift in carbonate or organic content, since those are what burns away. And the firing trial catches a change in fired colour or shrinkage, which nothing measured cold would have revealed.
