Yes, I have been thinking along these lines too. However, there are also
two problems with this theory:

* The refresh counter, 74393, is running freely and is not synchronized
to anything (reset lines are always inactive). So it is not possible
that someting occured always when the counter shows $21.

* There are 4164 chips, so the row address is 8 bits.
