Odd density conjecture for residue classes of 21-regular partitions

From papers

Let b21(n)b_{21}(n) be the number of 2121-regular partitions of nn.

Odd density conjecture for b21b_{21}. The series

n=0b21(4n+2)qn\sum_{n=0}^\infty b_{21}(4n+2)q^n

and

n=0b21(4n+3)qn\sum_{n=0}^\infty b_{21}(4n+3)q^n

have odd density 1/21/2. Consequently, the 2121-regular partition function has odd density 1/41/4.

The preceding arguments establish lacunarity modulo 22 for the residue classes 4n4n and 4n+14n+1, while this conjecture predicts the contrasting density-1/21/2 behavior of the other two classes. The source gives no resolution.
