Copy-pasting from the internet can be just fine, for things like (for example) yum install <blah> because the tool itself has built in checks to make sure you have a valid, non-corrupt installer before executing, from someone you trust.

The point is that what ends up on your clipboard can be different from what you see and if a new line is there, then the command executes before you have a chance to change your mind.
