Maybe he thought that or maybe Burke just kept on waiting and as a result he just ended up without a dance partner and all the excuses he makes are just him massaging his own ego by refusing to acknowledge that he made a mistake.
Even if that's what he legitimately thought, the question remains as to whether that was wise thinking and IMO it was not.

So you think Burke electing to not not take the best deal on the table and walk away with nothing in the end promotes the Flames interests? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
