Gradualism does not "occur in the rocks"; if it did, there would have been no need for PE in the first place.

Yes it does. You can draw a straight line between P. ralstoni & P. jarrovii. It will be diagonal indicating gradualism.

In short, the finding upholds Darwin's lifelong conviction that "nature does not proceed in leaps," but rather is a system perpetually growing in extreme slow-motion. This means that, in foram evolution at least, the highly touted Eldredge-Gould theory of punctuated equilibrium apparently doesn't work.
In divulging this revelation, Arnold could be forgiven for taking a modicum of perverse glee, the kind a highschool smart-aleck displays when he catches the teacher in a mistake. Gould, now among the most famous scientists in the world, directed Arnold's Harvard dissertation. But there's no room for that here, he says. Arnold maintains a warm professional relationship with his former mentor, who paid his lab a visit when FSU's Distinguished Lecture Series brought him to campus last year. Gould concedes that the forams don't fit his model of punctuated equilibrium, Arnold said.
Can't get more classic gradualism than that. Even admitted by Gould.

your change did fix it on my browser -- some seem to be more sensitive to nesting than others.

Re: microevolution does not prove toe or macroevolution
I also notice he didn't touch the Differential Dispersal Of Introduced Species (Re: Aspect of Punctuated Equilibrium) topic that addresses a particular part of punk eek that he seemed to have trouble with.
I'd say unable to refute therefore unwilling to answer.

Re: microevolution does not prove toe or macroevolution
unable means out of answers, which can happen to anyone who gets out of their depth - it's happened to me. more of an observation than ridicule. has to do with the cognitive consonance thing.
I was hoping for some interaction on the differential dispersal bit
