I thought we’d gotten over this thing where people thing they appear smart because they copy & paste instead of using curl?

It's not about being "smart". It's a completely unnecessary complication in this case.

And a complication that is bad practice because a malicious party can detect the blind handoff to shell and serve malware. e.g. wget file.sh ; vi file.sh and you get safe code curl file.sh | bash and you get malware.

This attack requires a malicious server, but it’s still bad practice.
