For 3 reasons, one there is no Song, the Tinkers break off from the Aiel "...to find a place where we can be safe, and sing again.” Over the course of 3000 years it becomes a grand quest for the Song. 2, Singing was a Talent, LTT asks Ishy, "Have you the Voice, stranger? It will soon be time for the Singing." And they have no way of testing for this Talent. 3, no one knows any of the songs that were sung by the Aiel in the AoL. Not to mention Tinkers likely wouldn't have even a small amount of Talent for Singing due to interbreeding with the rest of the world, just as Taren Ferry didn't have any channelers.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
So who thinks Elayne will die in aMoL?

Yes. I am classifying Main Characters as Rand, Egwene, Elayne, Perrin, Mat, Avi, Min and Nynaeve.
