No.  The same goes for someone complaining that some academic code only runs on
operating system X; why don't they have version for my pet operating system Y.

I'm just showing you what this situation might look like.

Let's put it this way. The observation that you balk at trying code that is not
ported to the operating system installed your PC suggests that you only read
papers (and cut and paste citations out of them), but don't actually work with
any of their code, except when it happens to be packaged run on that operating
system. Can you see how that does not "look good"? 

Regardless of the above being unfair, cynical, judgmental, not proceeding
deductively from verifiable premises, etc, that's what some people will think.

The world operates on flimsy perceptions.

Lovely academic credentials!

Yet here you are, being pulled by a string held by an Internet troll, who's
been trying to get some Eliza program going for several decades now.

On the one hand there is "IQ > 172" (congratulations), and on the other there
is something called "street smarts".

Don't let your obvious curiosity and intelligence be worked against you by
knaves.
