As far as I can see knowing that lactate is not the cause of muscle soreness provides no special insight and results in no changes to anyone's behaviour so I think the notion that there is some myth being perpetrated is a red herring.
Most athletes continue to spend time at high intensities where they 'feel the burn'. That they don't understand what's causing the burn makes no difference.
