Conjecture on common roots of sorted binomial polynomials

From papers

Let Pn(z)P_n(z) denote the sorted binomial polynomial, and call a root nontrivial when it is not the trivial root shared by the relevant polynomials. Common-root conjecture. Pn(z)P_n(z) and Pnk(z)P_{n-k}(z) share no nontrivial roots for all nn and 1kn1\leq k\leq n. This generalizes the proved case k=2k=2 discussed immediately beforehand; the claim is presented as a conjecture, and no resolution is given here.
