If you've got an argument, make it. Pink ground beef isn't safe. https://www.foodsafety.gov/keep/charts/mintemp.html
Chef here.
I grind my own beef, and there is no way I would want to eat a burger pattie cooked well done.
If you are worried that your mince may not be safe to eat - why the hell are you buying it?
Do you like your pork cooked until grey? I've seen it.
Properly cooked pork (not ground pork!) should actually be slightly pink in the middle (like with a pork chop). Anything more is overcooked.
/most people have no clue how to cook pork...
In my case it's been safe enough to eat for 40 years without incident. Not even pink, but bloody dripping red.
It's not the color, it's the internal temperature. Not necessarily correlated...
it's temperature * time, actually.
