first off, how the fuck can an opinion be wrong? maybe controversial to yours but not wrong.
secondly, sure, you can do stuff on you're client, if you're looking to have a lot of players, and don't want your server to be slowed down, it may (may) be a better choice.
And yes, of course, you run into security problems, and will have to find a way to make it more secure. packing them, as jokeofweek suggested would be one way.
other wise of course, checks to the server for permission to do stuff, would be another. however a lot of the thinking and "AI" (as dumb as it may be in MS), could be used on the client, to keep down usage on the server. Of course, again, with proper security.
