Yeah, you're crazy.  But aren't we all? 
Frankly I'd rather be riding my bike than messing with tubulars.  If I have a
flat with clinchers, it is easy enough to fix no matter where I am and I'm on
my way in a matter of a few minutes.  With clinchers I'd be stuck.
Clinchers make sense for pro racers.  When they have a flat, their mechanic
rolls up with a new wheel and they replace the whole wheel.  (And, of course,
the mechanic gets to fix the flat. )  Most of use don't enjoy that luxery.
