The lonely element conjecture for numerical semigroups

From papers

Let SS be a numerical semigroup, and call a nonzero small element of SS lonely if it has the property specified in the source. Lonely element conjecture. If every nonzero small element of SS is lonely, then SS is dimension-22 realizable, equivalently, its matricial dimension is at most 22. The paper states that this conjecture is disproved by a counterexample; the converse is known from earlier work.
