The two-random-elements conjecture for full-dimensional closures

Let Γ(p)\Gamma(p) be the profinite automorphism group of the rooted pp-ary tree, and let the closure of a subgroup generated by random elements be considered in the profinite topology. Theorem 3random states that the subgroup of Γ(p)\Gamma(p) generated by three random elements has 11-dimensional closure with probability 11. The two-random-elements conjecture. The same conclusion holds for two random elements: the subgroup of Γ(p)\Gamma(p) generated by two random elements has 11-dimensional closure with probability 11. The preceding theorem establishes the analogous assertion for three random elements, while the source proposes the two-generator version without giving a resolution.
