What does it mean for two conjectures to be incompatible?

Question

I read about Incompatibility of two Hardy-Littlewood Conjectures.

What does it mean?

My guess would be that they cannot both be true. – Mike Jul 01 '14 at 11:09 — Mike, Jul 01 '14 at 11:09

It means that once you prove either of the conjectures to be true, you've automatically proven the other one to be false.
