The February 2013 rMBPs are already second generation. At the same time that they switched to slightly faster processors, Apple updated many minor internal components in response to problems reported with the first generation. Even the unibody cases are slightly different from those of the 2012 rMBPs.

This is why the idea of a silent update this fall is a little questionable
 
Why? Is this a numerology belief?

Ok I'm getting ready to be totally wrong here, but just looking at past MBP (non-retina) and other hardware releases, it seems that there weren't many consecutive silent refreshes.

I think you're looking for a pattern where there is unlikely to be one.
