You deliberately exaggerate to be right in the end.  Completely unengaged
performances are very rare.  Surely it is the concertgoer's good right to
criticize.  But to boo after people worked hard (and most musicians work
hard even if we don't like their performance) is extremely unpolite.  I am
convinced that most booers just take the fine opportunity to let out their
aggressive tendencies.  If you really fell victim to a sloppy slibby roppy
completely unengaged performance (interesting English, by the way) go and
tell them at the backstage door.

The problem is that you patronize other people by behaving thus.  How
do you know that other people get fooled? Maybe you are the fool and the
others are the ones with the better musical understanding.  As impossible
as that may seem to you.
