Interesting. The question, though, isn't whether the lactic acid causes muscle fatigue but whether it causes the characteristic "burning" sensation in the muscles.

Seems like I need to read up on this...

The term 'fatigue' seems to be inconsistently used to sometimes refer to DOMS and sometimes to the, as you call it, 'burning' sensation in the muscles. However, in both studies I linked, it's being used to refer to the fatigue during and immediately after exercise, not DOMS.
