Conjectured hitting-probability threshold for slow-growth points

From papers

Let KRK\subset\mathbb{R} be a nonrandom compact set, let S(θ)\mathfrak S(\theta) be the random set of points of slow growth at parameter θ\theta, and let λ(θ)\lambda(\theta) denote the associated function. Write dimHK\operatorname{\dim_{_{\rm H}}}K for the Hausdorff dimension of KK. Hitting-probability threshold conjecture. The probability that S(θ)\mathfrak S(\theta) intersects KK should satisfy

P{S(θ)K}={1if λ(θ)<12dimHK,0if λ(θ)>12dimHK.\mathrm{P}\{\mathfrak S(\theta)\cap K\neq\varnothing\}=\begin{cases} 1 & \text{if $\lambda(\theta) < \frac12\operatorname{\dim_{_{\rm H}}} K$},\\ 0 & \text{if $\lambda(\theta) > \frac12\operatorname{\dim_{_{\rm H}}} K$}. \end{cases}

This is motivated by the analogous hitting-probability threshold for Brownian slow points. The source presents it as a belief and does not provide a resolution, so it remains open.
