Thank you very much, that is sufficient for present purposes (although 
alternative terms from the floor remain welcome). I doubt, though, that 
every use of the 'that' variant of this construction conveys an 
inference. It would rather appear to be the unmarked variant, such that 
subordination by something like 'how' is the marked variant insisting on 
event perception.
