Looks like Ohia Dieback was a thing back in the 70's - Google searches brought up a research plan from '74 - https://scholarspace.manoa.hawaii.edu/bi.../1/003.pdf
and an update - http://manoa.hawaii.edu/hpicesu/speci/003.pdf
and an outcome in '83 - https://scholarspace.manoa.hawaii.edu/handle/10125/730
So if Dr. Friday was working from the literature, this was his starting point. Then the symptoms were different, so they investigated diseases and found a fungus. Seems straightforward to me?
