Tell me I'm wrong

would the calculation be any different if the dealer burned 19 cards and then dealt the 20th as opposed to just dealing the card off the top of the deck

This is undoubtedly the correct way of looking at this situation but in your example you are not playing with a full deck. I have been accused of not "playing with a full deck" so often that it makes me wonder if the OP is wrong. The problem with me though is that I'm not usually playing cards when someone accuses me of this. I don't get it.
