I was thinking about this too, actually. I can plausibly come up with scenarios in which Charles has no telepathy and yet communal grocery shopping is still an option--not a lot of them, admittedly, but a few--but at that point I'm not sure what the answer is (and the fact that neither of them will be used to non-telepathic non-verbal communication by then does not help). I was tentatively working on the theory that they would pass the test but then spend the next hour arguing over the proper way to cook broccoli, but then I thought about the opening stages of X2, which contains a fairly major Broccoli Failure on Charles' part. So I'm not sure.
