I think you missed my point.

It's not the type of the file but the source of the file that is the issue.

It is also that these sorts of scripts are the source of many untrusted, unsigned and unverified files as well and you cannot necessarily trust the canonical source of them either.

If some random guy gave you some pain killers on the street, would you take them? Probably not. That's exactly what this problem is.
