Uniqueness of the maximum of the Airy process minus a parabola

From papers

Let A(t)A(t) be the Airy process and define

H(t)=A(t)t2.H(t)=A(t)-t^2.

Uniqueness conjecture. For each T>0T>0, H(t)H(t) has a unique point of maximum in [T,T][-T,T] almost surely.

This assumption is used to establish convergence of the first maximizer KNK_N of the discrete process to the corresponding maximizer of the limiting process. The source describes it as a very plausible assumption, but provides no proof or resolution.
