(The idea being that in a package a program may possibly change from being a binary command to a script and that this shouldn't cause a warning. However, the script check is only skipped provided the hash test and size checks pass, since to maliciously modify a file from a binary to a script without causing a change in hash or size would be virtually impossible.)
