The fair-discrepancy propagation conjecture for fully balanced matrices

Let AMn×m(R)A\in\mathbb{M}_{n\times m}(\mathbb{R}) be a fully balanced matrix. For each row ii, let

Mi=1mj=1maijM_i=\frac{1}{m}\sum_{j=1}^{m}a_{ij}

be its average discrepancy. If, for a fixed 1in1\leq i\leq n, one has

Miaij<ϵ|M_i-a_{ij}|<\epsilon

for the relevant entries jj, then Miaij<ϵ|M_i-a_{ij}|<\epsilon for all 1in1\leq i\leq n.

Fair-discrepancy propagation conjecture. If one fixed row has discrepancy less than ϵ\epsilon, then every row has discrepancy less than ϵ\epsilon.

The claim concerns propagation of a fair discrepancy from one row to all rows of a fully balanced matrix. The supplied text gives no resolution or additional context.
