There it was shown that the maximum violation of any of the WWZB inequalities is given by the supremum of an affine functional on a convex set of operators. This is attained on the extreme points, which correspond to von Neumann measurements.

41. Note that this does not exclude that if a violation of this inequality is observed, one can also obtain a violation of one of the inequalities in Eq. (3) large enough for full distillability. However, we have some numerical evidence suggesting that this is not the case.
