Forget Customers. Think network.

I've seen the verb think taking direct objects as in these examples:

(1) Forget Customers. Think network.

(2) Funny that you should think it.

(3) Just think what it might cost us!

(4) He was ashamed of thinking these base thoughts.

Can we generalize from these and use the following:

(5) Think the risk of bankruptcy before you take the plunge.

(6) All Ben does these days is think her and how to get to know her.

(7) It doesn't matter how I think her.

(8) He was thinking these weird ideas in the car.

Thanks for your comments!
