Equality of weak and ordinary Boolean Ramsey numbers for balanced V-shaped posets

Let Pi=Vmi,mi\boldsymbol{P}_i=\mathbf{V}_{m_i,m_i} for 1ik1\leq i\leq k, where Vmi,mi\mathbf{V}_{m_i,m_i} denotes the balanced V-shaped poset with mim_i elements on each branch. Write Rw(P1,P2,,Pk)R_w(\boldsymbol{P}_1,\boldsymbol{P}_2,\ldots,\boldsymbol{P}_k) for the weak Boolean Ramsey number and R(P1,P2,,Pk)R(\boldsymbol{P}_1,\boldsymbol{P}_2,\ldots,\boldsymbol{P}_k) for the ordinary Boolean Ramsey number. The equality conjecture.

Rw(P1,P2,,Pk)=R(P1,P2,,Pk)=m1+m2++mk+1.R_w(\boldsymbol{P}_1,\boldsymbol{P}_2,\ldots,\boldsymbol{P}_k)=R(\boldsymbol{P}_1,\boldsymbol{P}_2,\ldots,\boldsymbol{P}_k)=m_1+m_2+\cdots+m_k+1.

This extends the equality already observed for the examples arising from the lower-bound colorings and is proposed as a generalization of the preceding theorem to these balanced V-shaped posets. The claim is presented without a proof in the source.
