Alright, even though you're probably just joking, I must respond. I felt the same way until I heard someone play them REALLY REALLY WELL. (yes, it's possible to play avant-garde music well!) Most people somehow get the impression that it doesn't matter if you don't nail everything that's on the page because what's on the page (if there is a page at all) doesn't always specify exact pitches or rhythms. However, just because there's more than one way to play something right doesn't mean that anything goes.
If you ever get the chance to see Vinko Globukar perform, I highly recommend that you do it. It will change your perception of this music when you see someone put so much emotion and precision into a performance. I can count on one hand the number of concerts I've been to where the performer established that kind of connection with the audience
