The heck I did. Why in the world would I bring up a find that confirmed evolution (even if it denied the current model) to claim evolution was falsifiable or falsifiable. Might as well have brought a thermometer to measure a trip. I originally mentioned this in connection with the subject of intellectual corruption. That is the subject the entire claim centers upon. The main point was that in the interest of protecting (not a subject but simply a model) one of the most important discoveries in history was intentionally hidden by one of academic's most prominent and respected members. The comments claim is obvious and had nothing to do with falsifiability. The two may be connected but my original context is exactly what I said.
You did not present any a single precursor beyond the protozoan life I had already mentioned so there was nothing about their immediate ancestors to even consider. The only interesting thing you mentioned was not what you recounted above. Where are vertebrate's in the period was it? I said basic body types. I did not get into all the vagaries of how taxonomy breaks down but my statement is consistent with thousands of references like:
All the basic body plans found in nature today are here: bodies with heads, tails, and appendages, all specialized segments performing specialized functions. All animal evolution for the last half billion years has come from tinkering with these Cambrian body plans.
Evolution: Library: The Cambrian Explosion
Described recently as "the most important evolutionary event during the entire history of the Metazoa," the Cambrian explosion established virtually all the major animal body forms -- Bauplane or phyla -- that would exist thereafter, including many that were 'weeded out' and became extinct. Compared with the 30 or so extant phyla, some people estimate that the Cambrian explosion may have generated as many as 100. The evolutionary innovation of the Precambrian/Cambrian boundary had clearly been extremely broad: "unprecedented and unsurpassed," as James Valentine of the University of California, Santa Barbara, recently put it (Lewin, 1988).
Lewin then asked the all important question:
"Why, in subsequent periods of great evolutionary activity when countless species, genera, and families arose, have there been no new animal body plans produced, no new phyla?"

CAMBRIAN EXPLOSION / ORIGIN OF THE PHYLA
Distinguishing between vertebrates and proto-vertebrates is far more of a semantic question that one that has any impact on the context of my claims as a terribly bad habit. When reality starts being defined by the model then we have it backwards.
Evolution has been the basis for grounding all types of non-biological things like social Darwinism. I wish to God it would stay in the lab, the thing is bloody deadly when it escapes. I introduce a biological theory as an example of intellectual dishonesty. It is perfectly valid and wholly acceptable to do so. It also is primarily used as the primary evidence against God here in this THEOLOGICAL forum though it is constant with the bible anyway. I have no interest in it outside this context though it is valid and influential on a variety of non-biological issues. Just non that are relevant or interesting to me.
I do not find biological speculation very interesting though I have no doubt many do so, and should, in spades.
You're just making s*** up now.
