Existence of infinitely many empty exceptional sets

Let Ea,b,mE_{a,b,m} be the exceptional set of positive even integers in the residue class a+b(modm)a+b\pmod m that do not have a representation n=p+qn=p+q with primes pa(modm)p\equiv a\pmod m and qb(modm)q\equiv b\pmod m. Empty-exceptional-set conjecture. There are infinitely many tuples (a,b,m)(a,b,m) such that

Ea,b,m=.E_{a,b,m}=\varnothing.

This is presented as a plausible consequence of the preceding heuristic picture, but the authors explicitly express less confidence because precise heuristics for this assertion are more delicate. It remains open.
