Bleiler--Litherland's lower bound conjecture for hyperbolic lens space surgeries

Let KS3K\subset S^3 be a hyperbolic knot, and suppose that a surgery on KK yields a lens space of order rr. Bleiler--Litherland's conjecture. The order satisfies

r18.r\geq 18.

The paper proves that a hyperbolic knot with a lens space surgery has order r=14r=14 or r18r\geq18, so the conjecture amounts to excluding the remaining order-1414 case. The source gives no resolution of that case.
