Since I actually don't know math, maybe my ELI5 understanding can be helpful (or corrected).

The conjecture says that you can always reverse (a process) to determine the original inputs.

But this proof shows multiple inputs creating the same output - which obviously cannot be reversed to determine the input - thus falsifying the conjecture.
