Chan–Leung's facet-point conjecture for reflexive polytopes

Let PP be a reflexive polytope with barycenter bP=0b_P=0. For a facet FF of PP, let a facet GG be adjacent to FF when there is a vector uGu_G such that

uG,G=1,uG,P1.\langle u_G,G\rangle=-1,\qquad \langle u_G,P\rangle\geq -1.

Chan–Leung's facet-point conjecture. If bP=0b_P=0, then for every facet FF there exists a point xFaff(F)x_F\in\operatorname{aff}(F) such that

uG,xF12\langle u_G,x_F\rangle\leq\frac12

for every facet GG of PP adjacent to FF.

The conjecture was proposed as a combinatorial ingredient for proving the Chan–Leung Chern-number inequality without additional assumptions. The source gives a five-dimensional counterexample, so the assertion is refuted.
