Goh's Möbius uncertainty conjecture for locally finite posets

Let PP be a locally finite poset, and let μP(x,y)\mu_P(x,y) denote its Möbius function. Say that PP has the Möbius uncertainty property when this property holds as defined in the paper, and say that PP has the Möbius nonvanishing property when, for every xPx\in P, there are infinitely many yPy\in P such that μP(x,y)0\mu_P(x,y)\neq 0. Goh's conjecture. A locally finite poset PP has the Möbius uncertainty property if and only if, for every xPx\in P, the set

{yP:μP(x,y)0}\{y\in P:\mu_P(x,y)\neq 0\}

is infinite. This conjecture is presented as a special case of Goh's Conjecture 6 and as the assertion that the Möbius uncertainty property is equivalent to the Möbius nonvanishing property; its resolution is not given in the supplied text.
