If you just run the file you just created, it doesn't matter that they detected a redirect. I mean it would be a bit silly to download a script, check it, and then re-download it to pipe into bash.

Downloading a two kilobyte script a second time is probably less effort than remembering to rm the script after running it, so if you don't want to keep it, it could be better :)
