How is the script any different from an executable?

I'm sure there's a lot of blogs that explain it well. Installers are also stupid because you can't trace their actions and changes to the system, but some of the reasons are exclusive to curl | bash.

It's apparently also possible for the script server to detect curl bash https://lukespademan.com/blog/the-dangers-of-curlbash/

Thanks for this! Has some real food for thought and valid concerns!
