Uniqueness of finite simple groups by the number of 2-element centralizers

From papers

Let GG and HH be finite simple groups. For a finite group KK, let 2-Cent(K)2\text{-}\operatorname{Cent}(K) denote the set of centralizers of 22-element subsets of KK, and let 2-Cent(K)|2\text{-}\operatorname{Cent}(K)| be its cardinality. The uniqueness conjecture. If

2-Cent(G)=2-Cent(H),|2\text{-}\operatorname{Cent}(G)|=|2\text{-}\operatorname{Cent}(H)|,

then GHG\cong H. The conjecture is motivated by calculations with the aid of GAP; its validity for all finite simple groups remains open.
