Apr 5, 2020 at 15:19 comment added Wolfgang Oops yes that was too quick. I'll think again and check with the numerical triples...
Apr 5, 2020 at 15:03 comment added joro @Wolfgang Don't you need epsilon in the denominator of the inequality?
Apr 5, 2020 at 12:26 comment added Wolfgang Well, if the balance is $a/b=\varepsilon$, then in this construction, $A/B=\frac{(1-\varepsilon)^2}{4}<\frac14$ so indeed, that looks like my conjecture should be false for $\varepsilon <\frac14$. I would consider balances $>\frac14$ much more interesting anyway.

Apr 2, 2020 at 17:41 comment added Wolfgang I mean it indeed in the sense of @Wojowu. The threshold of 1.4 for a "good" one being kind of arbitrary....

Apr 2, 2020 at 12:07 comment added joro @Wojowu I confused you with the OP, sorry.
Apr 2, 2020 at 11:08 comment added Wojowu What do you mean with my conjecture? (are you confusing me with the OP?) And what do you mean with symbolic $a,b$ and their degrees?

Apr 2, 2020 at 10:22 comment added joro @Wojowu I suspect your conjecture is false by my construction when you work with symbolic $a,b$ and check the degrees of the triples.
Apr 2, 2020 at 10:19 comment added joro @Wojowu Could be. I have seen explicit distinction.
Apr 2, 2020 at 10:01 comment added Wojowu According to my google search yesterday, "abc triple" is often taken to mean a triple satisfying $rad(abc)<c$.
