I'm not even sure it's that. Burkes message and Treliving's message are generally pretty consistent when I hear them talk. All this supposed contradiction is mostly fans micro analyzing everything they say, taking everything far too literally, and assuming theres only way to interpret the comments.
Don't get me wrong, I do agree he's dropping some smoke bombs and it's on some level gamesmanship with the other teams, but a lot of it is fans wanting to be able to draw firm conclusions from things he says and getting frustrated if there's grey after they hear him talk a few times and decide he's contradicting himself. And some of it is with a polarizing guy like Burke, his detractors are literally looking to catch him in a contradiction cause it makes them feel good to call him a liar or say he doesn't know what he's thinking and they micro analyse everything he says.
