In this paper, we give counterexamples to the first conjecture, and show that the second conjecture can be either true or false, depending on the meaning of “generic”: we construct probabilistic processes producing sequences satisfying LH with probability 1, and we construct Baire topological spaces of sequences for which the subspace of sequences satisfying LH is meagre.
