Tell a script to run within ignore app

Can anyone tell me why this works

ignoring application responses
tell application "Script Title" to run
end ignoring

and this works

set TheScriptAlias to alias PathToScript
run script TheScriptAlias

, but

set TheScriptAlias to alias PathToScript
tell application TheScriptAlias to run

and

set TheScriptAlias to alias PathToScript
ignoring application responses
run script TheScriptAlias
end ignoring

will not work.

To avoid having the user find the script on first run, I would like to store
the script location as an alias. I need to run the script in parallel to
the script that is sending the message.
