The most likely answer is simply that Burke misjudged the market and as a result was left with no one to dance with at the end of the night.

I don't see the one being the consequence of the other. Misjudging the market means you think you'll get X, but you can't get X. I don't think there's much of a question that Burke wasn't offered X.
The question then becomes, should Burke have taken Y, which he apparently was offered? There seem to be some people suggesting that Burke made a mistake in not taking Y, and that that has something to do with his misjudging the market. Burke claims he didn't take Y because he didn't want to make a trade "to get what he could get". People are questioning whether that's actually the case (including you, apparently).
Are you suggesting that Burke's rigid stance on X prevented him from being able to take a Z, which was better than Y, but later not available? There's no evidence of this whatsoever.
