If those in a given population, who can reproduce, do reproduce...then evolution would be falsified?

Not quite. If every individual in a generation passed on its genes, then that would falsify a substantial part of evolutionary theory. It would not falsify evolution.

Population, of course, not generation.

I'm a little unclear. Exactly which part of the theory would be falsified and why.
