I think his argument that the USDA puts out these really broad rules because they “don’t trust us to be smart enough” is unfair. It isn’t about trust or intelligence. It is about practicality. They can’t put out guidelines for every single possible type of food, combined with every possible temperature and bacterial environment. They have to make conservative, broad statements that say “do this and you will be safe.” They aren’t saying “don’t do this and you won’t be safe”, just that they can’t be sure.
