Conjecture on tangential accumulation of parabolic curves

Let ll be a parameter on the unit circle, so that l=1|l|=1. A parabolic curve is a parameter curve along which the corresponding maps have a parabolic cycle.

Parabolic-curve accumulation conjecture. Parabolic curves accumulate on the unit circle at isolated points and tangentially to it. Moreover, if a parabolic curve accumulates on a parameter ll with l=1|l|=1, then another parabolic curve of the same period lands on ll from the opposite side.

This conjecture describes the numerically observed accumulation of boundaries of hyperbolic regions, including extended tongues, on the unit circle. The supplied text presents it as a numerical conjecture, with no resolution stated.
