Default Question on odds

I'm confused by other posters' math.

i.e. you have 10c10h and the board is A 2 3 5 and you are trying to calculate the odds of either of the two remaining tens coming on the river. Let's say your opponent turns AK face up.

Isn't the chance (2 out of the remaining 44 cards) -- 2/44?
But I often see posters calculate 2/42 here.

In other words, don't the burn cards have nothing to do with the equation because a ten is equally likely to be in the burn as any other card?

Sorry for the simple question.

Thanks
Vic
