Chain-connectedness implies total well-coveredness for compatible orders

Let GG be a group generated as a monoid by a conjugation-closed subset AA, let cG\mathfrak{c}\in G, and let AcA_{\mathfrak{c}} be the generators appearing in reduced AA-factorizations of c\mathfrak{c}. Let Pc(G,A)\mathcal{P}_{\mathfrak{c}}(G,A) be the factorization poset. A linear order of AcA_{\mathfrak{c}} is c\mathfrak{c}-compatible as defined for this poset, and total well-coveredness means that every relevant factorization subposet is well-covered with respect to that order. Well-coveredness conjecture. If Pc(G,A)\mathcal{P}_{\mathfrak{c}}(G,A) is totally chain-connected and \prec is a c\mathfrak{c}-compatible order of AcA_{\mathfrak{c}}, then Pc(G,A)\mathcal{P}_{\mathfrak{c}}(G,A) is totally well-covered with respect to \prec. This is stated as an equivalent form of the conjectured EL-labeling criterion.
