Strong Hall's conjecture for triangle-shape distributions

Let SS be a convex region, let FS(ϕ)F_S(\phi) denote the distribution function for the shape of a random triangle formed by three points chosen from SS, and let Fnball(ϕ)F_{n-\rm ball}(\phi) denote the corresponding distribution function for a ball of the same normalized volume. Strong Hall's conjecture. For every relevant shape parameter ϕ\phi,

FS(ϕ)Fnball(ϕ).F_S(\phi) \leq F_{n-\rm ball}(\phi).

Hall's original conjecture is the special case at ϕ=π2\phi=\frac{\pi}{2}, where Hall's notation is P(S)=FS(π2)P(S)=F_S(\frac{\pi}{2}). The source introduces this as a natural generalization of Hall's conjecture, but supplies no resolution here.
