He is saying (to me) that there are holes in the theory (gaps in the record) . . .

Not here he isn't.

He's simply talking about which theory has real information content and is subject to disproof by evidence that contradicts what the theory says. The actual information content of "Well, God could have done it that way" is very low. The statement works equally well against any conceivable "that way." It isn't testable, falsifiable, or scientific. That's what Gould is talking about.

“I can envision observations and experiments that would disprove any evolutionary theory I know,”

I think he is saying exactly what he is saying, why make his words jump through hoops?
