Three consecutive shifted cube remainders

Prove that for every positive integer n>8, with t=floor(n^{1/3}), the three integers n-t^3, n-(t-1)^3, and n-(t-2)^3 are not all cubes.

Background

Theorem 3.3 leaves unresolved the case in which two adjacent cube remainders are cubes. The authors explain that ruling out three consecutive shifted cube remainders that are all cubes would substantially strengthen their cube bootstrapping result.

Let $n>8$ be a positive integer, and let $t=\lfloor n{1/3}\rfloor$. Then $n-t3$, $n-(t-1)3$, and $n-(t-2)3$ are not all cubes.

For any positive integers $a, b, c, t$, the integers $t3+a3$, $(t-1)3+b3$, and $(t-2)3+c3$ are not all equal.
