Well I am not sure on the origin of the idiom, but it means to disagree. It has to do with AB because there will be many people who disagree. "A polite way of saying that you disagree with something that someone has said." http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/I+beg+to+differ%2Fdisagree I hope this helps.
