Invertible-summand conjecture for anisotropic quadrics

Let QQ be an anisotropic quadric over kk, with defining quadratic form qq, and let M~K(n)(Q)\widetilde{M}_{\operatorname{K}(n)}(Q) be its K(n)\operatorname{K}(n)-kernel motive. Invertible-summand conjecture. If M~K(n)(Q)\widetilde{M}_{\operatorname{K}(n)}(Q) contains an invertible direct summand, then

dimnq<2n.\operatorname{dim}_n q<2^n.

This is stated as the converse to a preceding proposition and follows from Kahn's descent conjecture; the latter is only known in special cases.
