The Dichotomy Conjecture for finite locals and finite acyclics

A spectrum has a finite local if some nontrivial finite spectrum is local with respect to it, and it has a finite acyclic if some nontrivial finite spectrum is annihilated by it.

The Dichotomy Conjecture. Every spectrum has either a finite local or a finite acyclic.

The source attributes this conjecture to Hovey and collaborators and states that it is equivalent to the finite-local formulation involving Bousfield classes. No resolution is given.
