The exact-one failure conjecture for the weak Lefschetz property

From papers

Let CI(d,d,d,d)CI(d,d,d,d) denote the parameter space of complete intersections generated by four forms of degree dd. Say that a member fails WLP by more than one or fails WLP by exactly one according to the deficiency in maximal rank described in the paper. Let XCI(d,d,d,d)X\subset CI(d,d,d,d) be the locus of complete intersections that fail by more than one, and let YY be the locus of those that fail by exactly one.

Exact-one failure conjecture. If there is a complete intersection JCI(d,d,d,d)J\in CI(d,d,d,d) that fails WLP by more than one, then there exists a complete intersection ICI(d,d,d,d)I\in CI(d,d,d,d) that fails WLP by exactly one; more precisely,

XY.X\subset\overline{Y}.

This is proposed as the reduction step needed to prove the general height-four WLP conjecture: it would suffice to analyze failures by exactly one. The paper does not resolve this conjecture.
