    The quality of the thermal and experience of the user does play a big part in how good target identification is. I use top range gear several nights a week and occasionally have to wait until the target moves to get a positive identification
    But I never add alcohol to a nights work

    As I said. Target identification is exactly the same as with a normal optical sight. Sometimes you need to wait to get a better look before you can 100% identify your target. Wait for the "object" to move, turn, get closer, whatever it takes. You don't shoot at a "brown thing" throught your scope, and you don't shoot at a "white blob" throught your thermal. If you can't 100% identify it, DON'T shoot.
