Mitch,

I don't really understand what you are saying.

You said: "And it does, right?"  Are you saying that singular substantives 
in a TSKS construction can have a unifying effect while not being of an 
identical reference?  This seems to be the case to me, but those advocating 
Sharp's Rule would say otherwise.
