Erdős and Szekeres further conjectured that $p\geq i$ can be improved to $p>i$ except in a few special cases. In particular this fails when $i=2$ and $n$ being some particular powers of $2$. They also found some counterexamples when $i=3$, but only one counterexample when $i\geq 4$: \[\textrm{gcd}\left(\binom{28}{5},\binom{28}{14}\right)=2^3\cdot 3^3\cdot 5.\]
