Kinser-minus separation conjecture

For an integer n>5n>5, let Kin(n){\mathrm{Kin}(n)}^- denote the matroid referred to in the source as Kin(n){\mathrm{Kin}(n)}^-. Let Kn\mathcal{K}_n be the class of matroids satisfying the nn-th Kinser inequality, and let Kn\mathcal{K}_n^* be its dual class. Kinser-minus separation conjecture.

Kin(n)KnKn.{\mathrm{Kin}(n)}^-\in\mathcal{K}_n^* - \mathcal{K}_n.

The source presents this as a strengthening of the conjecture that Kn\mathcal{K}_n is not dual closed, motivated by the difficulty of the fifth case. The notation Kin(n){\mathrm{Kin}(n)}^- is not defined in the supplied context.
