So your target audience is:

A. The Science Community
B. The Spectator Science Community
C. The Alternative Rebel Science Community
D. The Alternative Rebel Spectator Science Community

If I was a serious person involved in serious scientific work involving the use of computers for modeling, statistic, analysis, etc., I would never accept and .exe from anyone as a teaser, demo or actual app for making an argument or point.

The code is where the assumptions lie in alogrithm form - it is there where I can determine the validity of the code and the arguments that lie within.

EXE distributed to make a point or sale are by their closed nature suspicious.

And of course - with poor programming - prone to code insertion into unused buffers and array space making them distributors of viruses.
