Good idea, not to set it in stone. FIA does similar tests too, some things have to be tested in real conditions.
I though of a term: OMT (One More Thing you have to think about (you don't have to say that last part, just think about it. Or don't think about it, that's the whole point after all... )). What it means that the more OMTs you have while racing, the slower you'll get. Reducing OMTs is beneficial not only to pace but to safety. Lapping is just OMT, and with a blue flag rule, that's another OMT.
