Cut locus smeariness conjecture for real projective spaces

From papers

Let m2m\geq 2, and let FF and GG denote the Fréchet functions associated with the intrinsic and comparison distance settings, respectively, near the origin 00 in the real projective space RPm\mathbb{R}P^m. Cut locus smeariness conjecture. For every neighborhood UU of 00, there is an xUx\in U such that

F(x)G(x).F(x)\neq G(x).

This would indicate that RPm\mathbb{R}P^m admits cut locus smeariness. The statement is motivated by the fact that cut locus smeariness can occur when the cut locus has dimension m1m-1, but its resolution is not supplied here.
