Addario-Berry et al.'s critical resistance scaling conjecture

From papers

Let RnR_n denote the resistance in the random resistance model, let pc=12p_c=\frac12, and let yRy\in\mathbb R. Addario-Berry et al.'s conjecture. If p=pc=12p=p_c=\frac12, there exists a constant ceff(0,)c_{\mathrm{eff}}\in(0,\infty) such that

limnP(logRn(ceffn)1/3y)=y34(1x2)1{x<1}dx.\lim_{n\to\infty}\mathbb P\left(\frac{\log R_n}{(c_{\mathrm{eff}}n)^{1/3}}\le y\right)=\int_{-\infty}^y\frac34(1-x^2)\mathbf 1_{\{|x|<1\}}\,\mathrm dx.

The prediction gives a precise n1/3n^{1/3} critical scaling and would imply the Hambly–Jordan conjecture. The source presents it as an expectation rather than a proved result.
