That’s not the reason.
Cow muscle tissue is dense and difficult for bacteria to penetrate, with a single surface area (the outside) assuming safe handling and “edible freshness”. So cooking the outside to “rare” offers protection by cooking off surface or lightly penetrated bacteria.
Ground beef is soft and porous, with a massive surface area, much easier for bacteria to penetrate completely.
However, that aside, your analogy has a sound basis: more input sources = higher opportunity for corruption.
Well hey I appreciate it, I genuinely thought what i wrote was the whole thing, I'm glad to know that there's more, and the details behind it.
It's not that there was even more information. It's that yours is completely incorrect. There is zero to do with how many cows the meat came from. It is exclusively because the bacteria on the outside of the meat gets blended into the inside when it's turned to hamburger, and that hamburger is more porous and bacteria can more easily travel through it.
I thought this was extremely common knowledge. To see that the other person had been getting up voted for his comment at all was really surprising to me.
knowledge is never common any more.
