Would the TOM be inferring it or implying it?
Here I am getting all worried, then I go look up the definitions..

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/infer
Definition of INFER
transitive verb
1 : to derive as a conclusion from facts or premises <we see smoke and infer fire — L. A. White> — compare imply
2 : guess, surmise <your letter … allows me to infer that you are as well as ever — O. W. Holmes †1935>
3 a : to involve as a normal outcome of thought
..b : to point out : indicate <this doth infer the zeal I had to see him — Shakespeare> <another survey…infers that two-thirds of all present computer installations are not paying for themselves — H. R. Chellman>
4 : suggest, hint

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/imply
Definition of IMPLY
transitive verb
1 obsolete : enfold, entwine
2 : to involve or indicate by inference, association, or necessary consequence rather than by direct statement <rights imply obligations>
3 : to contain potentially
4 : to express indirectly

I'd say infer, probably definition 1 or 4.
(Only because I can't resist a good pile-on at the moment)... Uh oh, time to get worried again..
