  /- Sketch of proof:

  Assume that `p` is identically true for simplicity. Let `Y₁ i = cthickening (r₁ i) (s i)`, define
  `Y₂` similarly except using `r₂`, and let `(Z i) = ⋃_{j ≥ i} (Y₂ j)`. Our goal is equivalent to
  showing that `μ ((limsup Y₁) \ (Z i)) = 0` for all `i`.

  Assume for contradiction that `μ ((limsup Y₁) \ (Z i)) ≠ 0` for some `i` and let
  `W = (limsup Y₁) \ (Z i)`. Apply Lebesgue's density theorem to obtain a point `d` in `W` of
  density `1`. Since `d ∈ limsup Y₁`, there is a subsequence of `j ↦ Y₁ j`, indexed by
  `f 0 < f 1 < ...`, such that `d ∈ Y₁ (f j)` for all `j`. For each `j`, we may thus choose
  `w j ∈ s (f j)` such that `d ∈ B j`, where `B j = closedBall (w j) (r₁ (f j))`. Note that
  since `d` has density one, `μ (W ∩ (B j)) / μ (B j) → 1`.

  We obtain our contradiction by showing that there exists `η < 1` such that
  `μ (W ∩ (B j)) / μ (B j) ≤ η` for sufficiently large `j`. In fact we claim that `η = 1 - C⁻¹`
  is such a value where `C` is the scaling constant of `M⁻¹` for the uniformly locally doubling
  measure `μ`.

  To prove the claim, let `b j = closedBall (w j) (M * r₁ (f j))` and for given `j` consider the
  sets `b j` and `W ∩ (B j)`. These are both subsets of `B j` and are disjoint for large enough `j`
  since `M * r₁ j ≤ r₂ j` and thus `b j ⊆ Z i ⊆ Wᶜ`. We thus have:
  `μ (b j) + μ (W ∩ (B j)) ≤ μ (B j)`. Combining this with `μ (B j) ≤ C * μ (b j)` we obtain
  the required inequality. -/
