Well that behaviour is generally discouraged and whenever I do so, I give some due consideration to how much I trust the website. I can also eyeball what the script is doing which is more practical than disassembling some binary although it's common for the script to download a binary. Also, a lot of "install" scripts will set your system up with the software repository, so you use the standard system updates to also keep that software updated.
