Rational points conjecture for generic marked hypersurfaces

From papers

Let kk be a field, let m0m\geq0 be an integer, and let Xm/KmX_m/K_m be the generic mm-marked degree-dd hypersurface in Pkn+1\mathbb{P}^{n+1}_k. The points δ1,,δm\delta_1,\ldots,\delta_m denote its mm tautological sections.

Rational points conjecture. If d4d\geq4, then

Xm(Km)={δ1,,δm}.X_m(K_m)=\{\delta_1,\ldots,\delta_m\}.

This predicts that a generic degree-dd hypersurface with mm marked points has no KmK_m-rational points beyond the tautological marked points. The surrounding discussion presents it as the optimal expectation for the rational-point theorem in the paper; no resolution is supplied here.
