Replacement conjecture for equivalent impartial misère-game positions

Let ξ\xi be a position with misère outcome o(ξ)=Po^-(\xi)=\mathcal{P}, and suppose its misère quotient is isomorphic to that of the impartial position *. In symbols, assume

Mc(ξ)Mc().\mathscr{M}_{\mathit{c}\ell(\xi)}\cong\mathscr{M}_{\mathit{c}\ell(*)}.

Replacement conjecture. One can replace * by ξ\xi in any position having * as an option without changing the resulting misère monoid. This would provide a substitution principle for positions with the same relevant misère quotient, but the paper presents the claim as conjectural and gives no proof or resolution.
