I wrote this article a year ago, and you hit the nail on the head - that is what I was getting at.

I didn't submit it here because it wasn't really meant for an advanced crowd, obviously most people would be aware of the dangers.

For example, take a look around at the pirating world. Many sites that help you install projects such as Couchpotato, Sickbeard, Sabnzbd etc rely on people curl-piping bash scripts. The people installing from those scripts likely do not know any better.
