Think the booster has largely been going well so maybe they are just confident with it and running the risk. The ship probably still isn't ready now so maybe they happy to risk it.
Good point on 3 being the tested one though. But this isn't any old engineering. I imagine they xray-ed a lot of that booster and know the structural integrity far better than a normal product.
