Stopple's Z-curve conjecture for zeros of the zeta derivative

From papers

Let a Z-curve be one of the level curves described in the source for ζ(s)\zeta'(s), and classify zeros of ζ(s)\zeta'(s) by types 00, 11, and 22. Write a zero as ρ=β+iγ\rho'=\beta'+i\gamma'. Stopple's Z-curve conjecture. Asymptotically, 100%100\% of the zeros lying on a Z-curve are type 00 and satisfy β>1\beta'>1.

The conjecture concerns zeros of ζ(s)\zeta'(s) far from the critical line and is motivated by the numerical data, in which all but one of the observed Z-curve zeros were type 00 and all but 1717 had real part greater than 11. No proof or disproof is given.
