The conjecture on infinitely many trivially squared consecutive prime pairs

Let pp and qq be consecutive primes with p>qp>q. Two primes are trivially squared if pxqyp^x-q^y being a perfect square implies (x,y)=(0,0)(x,y)=(0,0).

Trivially squared prime-pair conjecture. There are infinitely many consecutive primes pp and qq (p>qp>q) which are trivially squared.

This extends the observation that infinitely many twin primes p,p2p,p-2 with p3(mod4)p\equiv 3\pmod{4} would provide such examples. Its status is not established in the source.
