We prove the following conjecture due to Bryant Mathews (2008). Let Q be the orthogonal grassmannian of totally isotropic i-planes of a non-degenerate quadratic form q over an arbitrary field (where i is an integer in the interval [1, (\dim q)/2]). If the degree of each closed point on Q is divisible by 2^i and the Witt index of q over the function field of Q is equal to i, then the variety Q is 2-incompressible.
