Care to point out where you think we're getting our meanings crossed? (In a way that isn't snarky would be nice).

And you should also explain why you think my claims of irrelevance are solely based on my whims, when I've provided my reasons right along side my claims.

If you were interested in a discussion, for example, you'd provide reasons why you think your arguments against curl-piped-to-sh don't also apply to, say, downloading software installers. If you can't do that, then those arguments are irrelevant in a discussion where curl-piped-to-sh is being singled out.
