of musicians who can play a quintuplet accurately in the first place.
You can't be serious. Chopin requires them!
I understand the point he's trying to make. Accurate execution of a quintuplet is rather tricky. Chopin may require them, but performers rarely play five notes of equal length. But performers rarely play five notes of equal length in 5/4. Heck, we rarely play four notes of equal length in 4/4. A simple check using hyperscribe will show any of us that.
The point, however, I don't think is absolutely accurate execution of any rhythmic pattern. I think the point is what we hear. If we can distinguish the written rhythm simply by hearing it. (Or at least understand the concept of the rhythm, even if another might notate it differently).
