contents Let $X\subset\mathbb{P}^{hn+h-1}$ be an irreducible and non-degenerate variety of dimension $n$. The Bronowski's conjecture predicts that $X$ is $h$-identifiable if and only if the general $(h-1)$-tangential projection $τ_{h-1}^X:X\dashrightarrow\mathbb{P}^n$ is birational. In this paper we provide counterexamples to this conjecture. Building on the ideas that led to the counterexamples we manage to prove an amended version of the Bronowski's conjecture for a wide class of varieties and to reduce the identifiability problem for projective varieties to their secant defectiveness.
