Flawlessness conjecture for rank-generating functions

Let Fλ(q)=i=0dciqiF_{\lambda}(q)=\sum_{i=0}^{d}c_iq^i be the rank-generating function for partitions contained inside a partition λ\lambda. The polynomial is flawless if cicdic_i\le c_{d-i} for every id/2i\le d/2. Flawlessness conjecture. For every partition λ\lambda, the rank-generating function Fλ(q)F_{\lambda}(q) is flawless. The source presents this as an open conjecture and gives no general proof or counterexample.
