I don’t know of this “poor burn” conspiracy theory, but assuming that it’s related to the 9:00 order to Burnside, we know that McClellan sent the order at 9:00 because all the evidence points to 9:00, including the written order itself.
All the evidence, except the majority that says there was an 0800. There does appear to be a later order, carried by Sackett. Burnside told Sackett it was the third or fourth order to attack.
The Poor Burn theory is exactly what your purporting.
