On the necessity of Reidemeister move 2 for simplifying immersed planar curves

2014 
In 2001, Oestlund conjectured that Reidemeister moves 1 and 3 are sufficient to describe a homotopy from any generic immersion from the circle into the plane to the standard embedding of the circle. We show that this conjecture is false.
