Conjecture on the sign of the M4M_4 and power-mean difference

Let M4M_4 be the mean defined in the paper, let BpB_p and BqB_q be power means, and let R(Bp,M4,Bq)\mathcal{R}(B_p,M_4,B_q) denote their associated stabilizing mean. Set

p=32q,q=12(3±21).p=3-2q,\qquad q=\frac12(3\pm\sqrt{21}).

Sign conjecture. Then

M4R(Bp,M4,Bq)>0.M_4-\mathcal{R}(B_p,M_4,B_q)>0.

The claim records the positive sign obtained from the asymptotic expansion relevant to stabilizability of M4M_4 by power means. The source provides no resolution evidence, so the conjecture remains open.
