Non-regularity of polar spaces induced from proper dual subspaces

Let qq be the form described in the paper's construction, let VV be its underlying vector space, and let VV' be a proper subspace of VV^* such that

ker(V)={0}.\ker(V')=\{0\}.

Let the induced form on VVV\oplus V' define a polar space.

Non-regularity conjecture. The polar space associated to this induced form is non-regular.

The conjecture is motivated by the failure of the identity needed to reproduce the regularity proof for the original quadric when VV^* is replaced by a proper subspace VV'. The supplied text gives no resolution status.
