However if shorted by a circuit that also includes a battery cable, then the short circuit would have more fractional ohms to also dissipate the power - outside the battery.
The rest of the circuit is another battery and cables that are smaller in diameter (more resistance) and 8 to 10 times as long as the ground cable. Therefore I can't see the ground cable helping very much.
