Ok fair enough, but it isn't like I made up this logic on the spot- Given your knowlegde, I am sure you are aware that this is very commonly preached by many fitness people across the globe. Of course there are many that suggest differently, giving the sort of details you have. At the end of the day, I think the best thing to do, with regards to cardio and fat burning, is to test out the times and pre-cardio fueling that works best for you and gives results.
There is no doubt that pre and post workout fueling before weight training and lifting (non cardio sessions) is very important.
