Comparison conjecture for dihedral angles of combinatorially equivalent polytopes

Let P1P_1 and P2P_2 be combinatorially equivalent convex polytopes in Rd\mathbb{R}^d. Corresponding faces are identified by the combinatorial equivalence, and a (d2)(d-2)-face has an associated dihedral angle.

Dihedral-angle comparison conjecture. There exist corresponding (d2)(d-2)-faces t1t_1 of P1P_1 and t2t_2 of P2P_2 such that the dihedral angle of t1t_1 is not greater than the dihedral angle of t2t_2.

The source poses this as a question motivated by a known analogous statement for simplices; no resolution is given in the supplied text.
