Good example. Another  example is the following utterance :
"I've got only twelve cards. Would you all recount yours ?"
Usually, it's partner who holds 14 ; BTW, because the cause of this usually 
is that one card from dummy is mixed with declarer's, this increases the 
probability that the 14-card-holder becomes declarer, which somehow is UI.

Best regards,
