Cyclic insertion conjecture for multiple zeta values

For nonnegative integers m0,,m2nm_0,\ldots,m_{2n}, define

Z(m0,,m2n)=ζ({2}m0,1,{2}m1,3,,1,{2}m2n1,3,{2}m2n).Z(m_0,\ldots,m_{2n})=\zeta(\{2\}^{m_0},1,\{2\}^{m_1},3,\ldots,1,\{2\}^{m_{2n-1}},3,\{2\}^{m_{2n}}).

Cyclic insertion conjecture. For n0n\geq0 and m0,,m2n0m_0,\ldots,m_{2n}\geq0,

j=02nZ(m2nj+1,,m2n,m0,,m2nj)=ζ({2}2n+j=02nmj).\sum_{j=0}^{2n}Z(m_{2n-j+1},\ldots,m_{2n},m_0,\ldots,m_{2n-j})=\zeta\left(\{2\}^{2n+\sum_{j=0}^{2n}m_j}\right).

This generalizes the Borwein–Bradley–Broadhurst Eulerian-value conjecture. The source attributes it to numerical work and gives no resolution.
