Generalized cyclic insertion conjecture for Z-values

Using

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}}),

Generalized cyclic insertion conjecture. For a1,a2,a3,b1,b20a_1,a_2,a_3,b_1,b_2\geq0,

Z(a1,b1,a2,b2,a3)+Z(a2,b1,a3,b2,a1)+Z(a3,b1,a1,b2,a2)=Z(a1,b2,a2,b1,a3)+Z(a2,b2,a3,b1,a1)+Z(a3,b2,a1,b1,a2).\begin{aligned} &Z(a_1,b_1,a_2,b_2,a_3)+Z(a_2,b_1,a_3,b_2,a_1)+Z(a_3,b_1,a_1,b_2,a_2)\\ ={}&Z(a_1,b_2,a_2,b_1,a_3)+Z(a_2,b_2,a_3,b_1,a_1)+Z(a_3,b_2,a_1,b_1,a_2). \end{aligned}

This is presented as a further conjectural relation in the ZZ-notation and is attributed to Borwein–Bradley–Broadhurst–Lisonek; the source gives no resolution.
