Actually, I disagree with this.
Suspend your reality for a moment and try to imagine this. Suppose I'm in the bank and I'm very sloooooowwwwllllllyyyyyy robbing the bank. Starting at the door, I am moving veeeerrrrrrryyyyyy slloooooooowwwwwwlllllllllllyyyyyyyy toward the clerk. By slow, I mean I'm moving 1 inch every 60 minutes. It's all one continuous motion, but I'm just moving very very very slowly. Think of me as 1000 times slower than a snail.
After how long will people start to think "hey, this guy is here to rob a bank.... very slowly."?
The problem with noticing evolution is that it just moves too slowly by our standard. People are impatient. If a dog didn't give birth to a cat, then they can't understand it. People have a lot of trobule understanding gradualism.
