That's the whole point, isn't it?
There's a big difference between pipers who can play and then choose to
experiment and do "naughty" things and players who just play badly and
sloppily (is that a word?).
I respect players who are accomplished enough to branch out and "boldly go
where no piper has gone before".
Bad playing is just bad playing. We can all do that - some just faster than
others :-)

I seem to remember a certain well known piper who entered an open
competition playing a simple chanter and won it.
Running notes in is rubbish, choyting is rubbish and I would rather see
the pipes die out if certain pipers, who are promoting this and who
cannot play, are pulling the wool over listeners ears by showing the
world that their playing is the way to go forward.
