The minimal decomposition conjecture for shoreless continua

Let XX be a continuum with no shore points, and let

X=X1XNX=X_1\oplus\cdots\oplus X_N

be a minimal decomposition, meaning a decomposition minimal in the ordering used in the paper. Suppose that

pX1XN.p\in X_1\cap\cdots\cap X_N.

The minimal decomposition conjecture. The point pp is non-coastal when treated as a point of each XnX_n. This asserts the desired non-coastal behavior for every minimal decomposition, while the surrounding discussion presents the broader decomposition claim as a stronger, false conjecture.
