Okay, I see what you're getting at, but I find the way the argument is structured very confusing, and aspects of it seem misleading, even wrong when in the previous message you implied there are two different ToE's. Maybe I'm the odd evolutionist out, but if other evolutionists are having this much trouble understanding your point, then creationists are really going to have trouble.
I see what you're calling
Historical Evolution merely as the interpretation of evidence in the context of the ToE. When, for example, paleontologists are willing to make specific pronouncements based upon ambiguous or insufficiently complete evidence then they practically guarantee they will be overturned or in some way invalidated, and I think one of your points is that such occasions have nothing to do with the validity of the ToE, just as a police lab technician reaching incorrect conclusions could not affect the validity of chemistry.
