The inheritance of no discrepancy for dominant three-action subtraction sets

From papers

Let S={s3,s2,s1}S=\{s_3,s_2,s_1\} with s3<s2<s1s_3<s_2<s_1, and let a friendly/antagonistic discrepancy mean a difference between the FvF and AvA self-interest games. Dominant three-action inheritance conjecture. If

s12s2s_1\geq 2s_2

and the two-action set {s3,s2}\{s_3,s_2\} has no discrepancy for any heap size xx, then SS has no friendly/antagonistic discrepancy for any heap size xx. The claim is an empirical conjecture about extending the two-action pattern to three actions; no proof or resolution is supplied.
