[Avodah] HKBH does not fashion commandments that might cause people to sin

The Gemara Yuma 67b
brings differing opinions re the YK scapegoat's remains being permitted or
prohibited
Rava observes it is most likely, and that is how we Pasken
that they are permitted because
HKBH does not fashion commandments that might cause people to sin.

Can someone explain
the Nachal Eisan is prohibited from use,
this is the place where the Eglah Arufah is decapitated
which is the procedure following an unresolved murder between two cities

presumably it must be fenced off and marked as a no-go zone

Why might the same procedure not suffice for the location where the
scapegoat's remains are located?

What makes Rava consider this to be a situation which might prompt people
to sin?


Best,

Meir G. Rabi
