Asymptotic equipartition of twin Ramanujan-prime pairs

Let π2(x)\pi_2(x) count twin-prime pairs up to xx, and let π2,1(x)\pi_{2,1}(x) and π2,2(x)\pi_{2,2}(x) count, respectively, twin-prime pairs with one and with two Ramanujan primes.

Twin Ramanujan-prime asymptotic conjecture. If π2(x)\pi_2(x)\to\infty as xx\to\infty, then

π2,1(x)π2,2(x)12π2(x).\pi_{2,1}(x)\sim\pi_{2,2}(x)\sim\frac12\pi_2(x).

The conjecture formalizes the preceding heuristic that the two types of twin-prime pairs should occur in asymptotically equal proportions. The supplied text gives no resolution.
