> Kirito has accessed Brain Burst before in a story that may or may not be canon

He did not "access" BB there. The information of the device Kirito was using, and Silver Crow's got tangled together. And it was "non-canon" as Reki has asked fans to think about the story as a "celebration" of some sorts.

Of course it was to "bait" fans. Nothing more. They are aware that many fans like to take their headcanon too far and cling onto anything that resembles any similarities to what they dreamt of. All in all, it is a much more plausible theory that Kirito's possible son, with Asuna no less, another very prominent VR figure, would mimic their abilities as well as their habits. That, in itself, is a much more solid theory than a theory that says "Kirito did impossible things before".
