Conjecture on Turán densities of iterated suspensions

Let S(H)S(H) be the suspension of a hypergraph HH, obtained by adjoining a new vertex and adding it to every edge of HH, and let Sk(H)S^k(H) denote the kk-fold iterated suspension. Write π(H)\pi(H) for the Turán density of HH.

Iterated-suspension conjecture. For any k2k\geq 2,

π(Sk(K2{1,2}))=1+12k+1.\pi\left(S^k\left(K_2^{\{1,2\}}\right)\right)=1+\frac{1}{2^{k+1}}.

The preceding argument establishes the value for the first suspension example and gives the displayed lower-bound construction for general kk; the equality claimed here is presented without a proof in the source.
