Primality conjecture for Chebyshev knots

Let TnT_n denote the degree-nn Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind, and let (i,j,k)(i,j,k) be a reduced triple as in the source. Primality conjecture. Every knot of the form

(Ti,Tj,Tk)(T_i,T_j,T_k)

for the reduced triple (i,j,k)(i,j,k) with i3i\ge 3 is prime, hence non-trivial. The conjecture is presented among open problems about knots parametrized by Chebyshev polynomials; no resolution is given in the supplied text.
