I'm curious why? I do this all the time. Saves me time and lets me pull information quickly.

I'm not running it in a container that has access to my local filesystem or anything...

If it has no access to your filesystem or network services that's better, but you're still giving input from an unknown party to an interpreter, with the extra bonus of that interpreter being non-deterministic by design.

But then again people today will also pipe curl to bash, so I may have lost this battle a while ago...
