Now that makes more sense. But then, culturally speaking, in the long run the reasonable explanations for how a custom gets started probably don't matter. In at least some ways, kosher food preparation makes logical sense, at least what with the cleanliness, but I doubt that's generally seen as the point of it. (It's not as though it help avoid cholesterol, after all.)
