My wife is more extreme than this. She'll say, for example, 'He was angry when he came home' 20 minutes after we've finished talking about her brother. And I'm supposed to know who she's talking about. 
I wonder, is thai more intuitive in this sense, or is it just that my wife is getting on a bit, poor mare.
Anyways, looks like a useful and informed analysis.
