So if you think it has blight then burn?

Yes.

Why?

As I have posted before, blight is NOT carried by resistant spores
in the soil, but in living plants (both weeds and wildlings). Just
precisely how does burning help?

Any remaining spores are destroyed. Unless you are very careful the
drying leaves you've thrown on the heap can release many more spores.
