“There aren’t as many of these as you might think.”

All it takes is one to falsify the TOE.

If it is the right one, and if it is verifiable, you are correct.

But the list of nonsense I usually see presented as out-of-sequence fossils doesn't falsify anything. The one I cited above took only a few seconds to debunk through a google search.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary documentation. If 10,000 items suggest one thing, and one suggests the opposite, it makes sense to double check that one contrary fact to see that it is really accurate.

"If 10,000 items suggest one thing,"

Yeah, therein lies the rub. The data cannot be independently tested or replicated through experimentation because it has been discovered, not observed during testing. To go from a strong suggestion to claiming that the TOE is fact, truth, and all the other claims made on FR and other places is quite a leap.

"If it is the right one, and if it is verifiable, you are correct."

Again, that's the problem. There is no way to verify any piece of fossil data by re-test and independent observation under controlled conditions.
