Strong even boundary slope conjecture for prime non-torus knots

Let KK be a prime non-torus knot and let E(K)E(K) be its exterior. A properly embedded orientable incompressible and boundary incompressible surface in E(K)E(K) may have a boundary slope measured on the boundary torus of E(K)E(K). Strong even boundary slope conjecture. For any prime non-torus knot KK, there is a properly embedded orientable incompressible and boundary incompressible surface, which is not a Seifert surface, in the exterior E(K)E(K) with boundary slope an even integer. The paper presents this as a stronger version of the Even Boundary Slope Conjecture and states that it remains unknown.
