    Proof that people just do not read what they are seeing on their screens when put too much trust in the agent as it prints the result and they will approve anything on their machine.

    So if a basic curl | bash was tweaked to download malware which the agent gets tricked into running the command but it said it was safe, the user would just approve it.
