If you remove the quarantine flag, you have NO way to determine whether the file you received is genuine, or is from a proxy that has been "poisoned" with a bogus version (yes, it does happen, and far more often than most people realize).

Before you even get to that dialog, there's a lot of stuff that has happened, including verification of the file against known exploits.  If you turn off the flag from the terminal, you're bypassing *all* of those checks.
