As far as your "disagreeing with <my> use of the word observed"...

>>> Practical instances of the Theory of Punctuated Evolution can be 'observed' every day.

>>> Of course, to observe such a slow moving train as evolution in near real time, one must look to accelerated life spans as in those of bacteria and or viruses.

>>> Rapid speciation to fill newly empty ecological niches (punctuated evolution) may be observed in countless microbial examples... but antibiotic tolerance... and new flu strains make particularly good exemplars.

>>> The process of evolution is ongoing... it may be observed every day.
