No optimal planar integral point set with a unit edge for at least six points

Let M(2,n)\mathfrak{M}(2,n) denote planar integral point sets with nn points, and call MM optimal when it attains the minimum possible diameter among sets in M(2,n)\mathfrak{M}(2,n). No-unit-edge optimality conjecture. Every set MM(2,n)M\in\mathfrak{M}(2,n) with n6n\geq 6 such that M1M2=1|M_1M_2|=1 for some M1,M2MM_1,M_2\in M is not optimal. The claim extends the observed existence of optimal sets containing distance 11 for n=3,4,5n=3,4,5; the source gives higher-point facher optimal sets as motivation, but leaves the assertion open.
