Irreducibility conjecture for binodal and cuspidal plane-section curves

From papers

Let SP3S\subset\mathbf{P}^3 be a general surface of degree d4d\geq 4. Let V2(S,OS(1))V_2(S,\mathcal{O}_S(1)) be the curve of binodal plane sections of SS, and let Vκ(S,OS(1))V_\kappa(S,\mathcal{O}_S(1)) be the curve of cuspidal plane sections of SS. Binodal-and-cuspidal irreducibility conjecture. Both curves are irreducible. This is proposed as a generalization of the paper's theorem for quartic surfaces; no proof for all degrees d4d\geq 4 is supplied.
