"Identify" could have been challenged, I think. "Identify" can suggest a pre-existing condition that a group uncovers. I'm not sure that has been proven here. It can mean other things, yes, but this potential equivocation is not something that should be encouraged in Science.
"Establish" or "create" or "conjecture about" might be more accurate.
I have a low threshold of tolerance for researchers and ambiguity.
