No Ed. He did not want them damned fast. He wanted them played
as 64th notes. I am sure that you and and I could, if we wished
play them a great deal faster than that. And I am not sure why
you feel it to be a joke on Stadler. It is a perfectly musical
idea without any special humor associated with the 64ths.

But you are correct about the turn symbol implying 32nd notes.
