Yes: It's a guess.

Characters interactions do not have to be insightful from the reader's perspective. The characters only know what they themselves know and have experienced, and make decisions/conclusions based off that.

Take Bleach for example. When the Arrancars Ulquiorra and Yammy arrive, Ichigo noticed that their Spiritual Pressure are similar to his and Shinji's, even showing flashbacks of them, and asked himself if they're Visoreds too. And Ichigo is wrong, but it makes sense for him to assume that given what he knows at the time.
