Non-divisibility conjecture for gcd-closed sets failing condition M

Let SS be a gcd-closed set, and let GS(x)G_S(x) denote the set of greatest-type divisors of xx in SS. Let condition M\mathfrak{M} be the condition defined in the source.

Non-divisibility conjecture. If

maxxS{GS(x)}2\max_{x\in S}\{|G_S(x)|\}\geq 2

and SS does not satisfy condition M\mathfrak{M}, then

(S)[S].(S)\nmid [S].

This conjecture generalizes Zhao's conjecture by proposing that failure of condition M\mathfrak{M} itself prevents divisibility. The source gives no resolution status.
