General-position peel restriction conjecture

Let dd be a metric of strict negative type on a finite space in general position, let I\mathcal{I} be a subset of peel(d)\operatorname{peel}(d), and let dId|_{\mathcal{I}} denote the restriction of dd to I\mathcal{I}. General-position peel restriction conjecture. If dd is strict negative type on a finite space in general position and Ipeel(d)\mathcal{I} \subseteq \operatorname{peel}(d), then

peel(dI)=I.\operatorname{peel}(d|_{\mathcal{I}})=\mathcal{I}.

This is the second weaker conjecture proposed in response to the exotic and brittle counterexample; the source gives no proof or resolution.
