Choose a tuning where g1 and g2 are both very close to but not exactly 1/2*g0. We have 4 distinct sizes for n/2-steps, a contradiction to MV3:  
Choose a tuning where g1 = 1/2*g0 + ε, g2 = 1/2*g0 - ε. We have 4 distinct sizes for n/2-steps, a contradiction to MV3:  


(1) #1, #2 and #3 are clearly distinct.
