Internal-zero conjecture for the pattern 1(l+1)l21(l+1)l\dots 2

From papers

Let q=1(l+1)l2q=1(l+1)l\dots 2 with l3l\ge3, and let the frequency sequence for qq be the sequence of pattern frequencies indexed by nn. A frequency sequence has internal zeros if it contains a zero term between two nonzero terms. Internal-zero conjecture. The frequency sequence for qq has internal zeros for all nl+1n\ge l+1. The conjecture arises from numerical evidence and the contrast between earlier results, and it predicts that the claimed nonzero-frequency property fails for this pattern when l3l\ge3.
