How precisely is it more dangerous than downloading and then double-clicking to run it? Either way you are running it. Or are you proposing that you download it, twiddle your thumbs for a while, throw it into the trash and erase the trash? Admittedly that would be safer and would kill a few minutes time, so perhaps it has its purpose. :)
