The form, as you rightly infer, is probably more prevalent in the United States than in other countries, many of which have long treated the playhouse as a space primarily for civic discourse.
We do make such inferences of this kind: if I see that my neighbour's dustbin is in the middle of the road rather than its usual position on the pavement, I (rightly) infer that it has been moved.
Because the Mayan calendar was not linear but cyclical (see David Hart on that point), Restall and Solari rightly infer that "the 2012 phenomenon is not ultimately about the year 2012, or about the Maya.
As your reviewer rightly infers, A. limax is not now strictly the name of a single species, but rather of a group or type of free-living forms which show differences among themselves, but can be cultivated on artificial media.
It certainly did, notoriously, to Paul Gascoigne, who in 1998 stormed into Glenn Hoddle's hotel room at the Spanish resort La Manga, having rightly inferred that he was to be one of six players cut from Hoddle's World Cup squad.

Rightly or wrongly, I infer that Roland Fryer will continue craft sophisticated models to test whether incentives and disincentives will make schools more accountable, will transfer more knowledge and, someday over the rainbow, will result in more real learning.
Navlakha and Kingsford quite rightly point out that the possibility of inferring past behaviour from current network structures raises certain privacy issues.
