Refinement conjecture for the secant degeneracy length of binary-form strata

From papers

Let μd\mu\vdash d be a partition, let μˉ\bar\mu denote the associated standard stratum, and let μˉ\ell_{\bar\mu} and μ\ell_{\mu'} denote the corresponding secant degeneracy lengths. Write μμ\mu'\succeq\mu for the refinement partial order. Refinement conjecture. For every partition μd\mu\vdash d, there exists a partition μμ\mu'\succeq\mu such that

μˉ=μ.\ell_{\bar\mu}=\ell_{\mu'}.

The claim is based on extensive calculations and appears in the paper's final list of open problems; no resolution is supplied in the source.
