Irreducibility conjecture for even sorted binomial polynomials

From papers

Let Pn(z)P_n(z) be the sorted binomial polynomial with parameter nn. Irreducibility conjecture. Pn(z)P_n(z) is irreducible over Q\mathbb{Q} for all even nn. The analogous factorization for odd nn has just been proved in the surrounding text, while this even-nn assertion is supported only by numerical computations for low nn.
