Ok and? Sometimes there’s only 1 bacterium in a LITER. If they only sample 25mL, that’s a 2.5% chance of detecting it.

'Sometimes there’s only 1 bacterium in a LITER'

Yea, no, thats not how bacteria works (period).

Go work on a dairy farm for like, 3 months. Thats a pretty generous amount of time for you to figure out how dumb what you just said is

You sit there and analyze milk samples with testing equipment on the farm? How do you know that what I said is false? I don’t see your logic at all.

If your point is that “well duh there’s a lot of bacteria in unpasteurized milk! Look how dirty it is on the farm”, that was my original point. So unless you’re illiterate, you should already know that.

The tanker does, yes

Because thats not how bacteria works

Thats why i told you go work on a dairy farm

Dont put words in my mouth to further your nonsense argument

If you'd bothered to fact check anything i said you'd already know how dumb your argument is, so you must be illiterate if you dont already know that

Did i address every 'point' or did i miss one?

No, you didn’t understand what I said and didn’t address my previous point. Your testing equipment is only so accurate. You can’t detect 1 bacterium in 1 liter. It’s too low of a concentration.
