Sep 30, 2017 at 13:42 comment added user19475 @David Speyer: Can you give the title of the article of Sturmfels and Zworski you mentioned?
Sep 29, 2017 at 13:53 comment added R. van Dobben de Bruyn @js21: but we do not need to determine the value of $q$, so shouldn't that still suggest that $g$ of them will do?

Incorporated suggestion from js21.
Sep 29, 2017 at 13:49 comment added R. van Dobben de Bruyn @js21 and DavidSpeyer: thanks for your comments. It seems that I was a bit rash. I will update my 'answer' accordingly.
Sep 29, 2017 at 13:43 comment added js21 @David Speyer: Indeed. The error lies in the fact that the number of points is not given by $f(\alpha_1^r,\dots,\alpha_g^r)$ but by $f(\alpha_1^r,\dots,\alpha_g^r,q^r)$ for some $f$ depending only on $g$, symmetric in its first $g$ variables.

Added example.

Sep 29, 2017 at 13:15 comment added David E Speyer I really don't think this is right. Kedlaya ( arxiv.org/abs/math/0411623 , Section 8) proves $\max(2g, 18)$ values suffice and Sturmfels and Zworski conjecture $g+1$ suffice; I don't see anyone saying $g$ do. I'm still digging through papers looking to produce an answer, but can you point out where in Suh I should find the result that $g$ are enough?
