Hypothesis A on vanishing shadow volume for Euclidean obstacles

From papers

Let KEnK\subset\mathbb E^n be a smooth manifold of codimension at least 22 with a regular embedding, and let W(ϵ)\mathcal W(\epsilon) denote the volume of the trapping locus Trap(SNϵ)\mathsf{Trap}(SN_\epsilon) associated with the obstacle KK. Hypothesis A. For all sufficiently small ϵ>0\epsilon>0, W(ϵ)=0\mathcal W(\epsilon)=0. This concerns whether the trapping locus has zero volume for sufficiently small tubular neighborhoods of any such Euclidean obstacle. The supplied text gives no resolution beyond stating the hypothesis.
