As for where it gets the binaries it comes from a manifest that gives a source URL and a checksum.

That sounds suspiciously like scoop.sh would be downloading the program from the internet, and a wise person once told me “Don’t download programs off the internet.” Not today, Satan!

Off the internet is trusting your browser and search engine not to mislead you. Not to mention a direct download is much faster and more efficient

And why should we trust Scoop not to mislead us? Are you their CEO or security advisor?
And why should we trust you? You are also on the internet.

It’s funny because in reality for someone who is capable enough to use/want scoop, it’d come with or add a whole new layer of things where security and such could go wrong.
