They did inspect it, but not very well.
They knew the orbiter was struck by insulation on launch, but they didn't bother to do a detailed inspection because they figured it had beed hit before with no problems. Just like they figured they'd launched in low temperatures with no problems back in '86.
The space shuttles are fairly robust machines, but even they are unable to withstand the lazy hubris of the decision makers at NASA.
