Asymptotic prevalence of lex-segment exterior shiftings

Let XX be a fixed compact connected surface. Let s(X,n)s(X,n) be the number of triangulations TT of XX on nn labeled vertices, and let l(X,n)l(X,n) be the number of such triangulations for which Δ(T)1\Delta(T)_1 is a lex-segment and Δ(T)2{2,3,4}\Delta(T)_2\setminus\{2,3,4\} is a lex-segment, where Δ(T)\Delta(T) denotes the exterior algebraic shifting.

Lex-segment prevalence conjecture. As nn tends to infinity,

l(X,n)s(X,n)1.\frac{l(X,n)}{s(X,n)}\longrightarrow 1.

This predicts that, for every fixed compact connected surface, almost all labeled triangulations have the specified lex-segment form after exterior shifting. The statement appears as a direction for further research, and the source gives no resolution.
