Conjecture on linear independence of L-space knots

An LL-space knot is a knot admitting a nontrivial Dehn surgery yielding an LL-space. Let the knots be regarded as elements of the knot concordance group.

L-space-knot linear-independence conjecture. The set of LL-space knots in S3S^3 is linearly independent in the knot concordance group. In particular, if LL-space knots K0K_0 and K1K_1 are concordant, then K0=K1K_0=K_1.

The source presents this as a potentially more manageable conjecture than Baker's conjecture and does not provide a resolution.
