The diameter-three conjecture for small Weyl graphs

Let Φ\Phi be an irreducible classical root system of rank at least 22, and let Γs(Φ)\Gamma_s(\Phi) be its small Weyl graph. The diameter of a graph is the maximum distance between two of its vertices. Diameter-three conjecture. The diameter of Γs(Φ)\Gamma_s(\Phi) is at most 33. This is suggested by computations for several root systems, in which the diameter was always at most 33; the general case remains open.
