Why doesn't all the Sharons know about absolutly everything or nothing? Why is it selective. I really don't get it.

The more I think about it, the more confusing it seems to get, eh?
I have a little theory...please bear with me..
What if there are base-models of the 12 skin-jobs? Each individual model has an identical pool of memories that it's 'equipped' with before they go...do their individual thing.
It's fairly obvious that the Cylons in the fleet aren't communicating with their Cylon overlords. Otherwise the Cylons would just keep hammering the shit out of them, right? The Cylons needed to bug a ship just follow the fleet around, remember? So, all Cylon agents in the fleet are operatives in the wind.
So let me bring all that together...
So...each version of Sharon would start out as the 'Raptor pilot, Mom gave her the stupid elephants, Chief is her boyfriend (his picture is in her apartment on Caprica....)' base model. So all the Sharons know the backstory. All the Sharons know about the Chief, and all the Sharons know the inside-outs of the Colonial Military. Once they get out 'in the wind' they have no way of sharing their experiences with their identical models until they die, where then their individual consciousness would be added to the pool particular to their model. And maybe even not then, right? They keep talking about 'boxing' Boomer and Caprica-Six, so why on Earth would you want their memories added to the pristine pool? You'd just corrupt all future 'Sharons.'
So....Boomer would have no way of knowing about preggo-Sharon's love affair with Helo, the child, the experience on the Pegasus, none of it until preggo-Sharon dies, her memories added to the pool, or she's 'reborn' and they swap life stories. Likewise, Helo's-Sharon would have no memories of shooting Adama, trying to blow up Galactica or being killed during her perp walk by Callie.
Does that make any sense at all?
What I really didn't understand is the time line. 36 hours until a new D'anna Biers can be reborn and tell them about the events in the garage. Ten weeks for a new Boomer and Nine months?! for a new Caprica-Six.
