Who says I blindly curl2sh these scripts? I download them, read them and understand what they do before running them actually.

Long options make obscure command lines readable and understandable, actually, and if you vet them, you understand what they are doing.

Short options make things harder because I need to open the man of the command to understand what it is doing.

You don't have to do everything blindly as the quick start documents outline.
