Maximal Hilbert function conjecture for generic 2-square points

Let ZsZ_s be a scheme made of ss generic 2-square points, where the support points are in generic position and the 2s2s lines defining their ideals are also in generic position. Let H(Zs,t)H(Z_s,t) denote its Hilbert function.

Maximal Hilbert function conjecture. For every ss and tt,

H(Zs,t)=min{4s,(t+22)}.H(Z_s,t)=\min\left\{4s,\binom{t+2}{2}\right\}.

The claim extends the computation obtained by the Horace method for s6s\leq 6, asserting that generic 2-square points always have the Hilbert function expected from 4s4s generic points. The source gives no resolution beyond those computed cases.
