Carrasco's Conjecture on the O'Shea-Zames-Falb Test

Is the O'Shea-Zames-Falb multiplier test necessary for robust stability of Lur'e systems with slope-restricted nonlinearities, as conjectured by Carrasco? No: there is a stable Lur'e interconnection, certified by a full-block multiplier, that admits no OZF multiplier.
