Kusner's conjecture is false for every p>4p>4

False for every p>4p>4. This is strictly stronger than the catalog's August entry (arXiv:2608.14013, significance 30), which exhibited n+2n+2 equilateral points for a single exponent and only located the infimum of failing exponents in [4,5)[4,5). Together with Swanepoel for 1<p<21<p<2 and Ge, Xu and Zhou for 2≤p≤42 \le p \le 4, Kusner's conjecture is now settled for all 1<p<∞1<p<\infty: true exactly on [2,4][2,4].
