Conjecture on decreasing limiting missing-difference distributions

Let RnR_n be the random set used in the paper, and let f[0,n1](Rn)f_{[0,n-1]}^-(R_n”) denote the number of missing differences in the interval [0,n1][0,n-1] for the corresponding random model. For each integer m0m\geq 0, consider the limiting probability

limnP[f[0,n1](Rn)=m].\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} P\left[f_{[0,n-1]}^-(R_n”)=m\right].

Decreasing limiting-distribution conjecture. For all integers m0m\geq 0, this limiting function of mm is decreasing.

The conjecture is motivated by the observed decreasing trend of the finite distributions after their tail-end blip becomes negligible. The source provides numerical evidence but no proof or resolution.
