Thanks. I couldn't find what I was looking for, but the sentence below hints at it. What I was looking for spelled out his ground rules for falsification. It was a specific statistical criterion which supposedly could legitimize the rejection of a piece evidence which if accepted would falsify an evolutianary hypothesis.
The validity of a hypothesis does not stand or fall based on just a few confirmations or contradictions, but on the totality of the evidence. Link
here. The rest of that paragraph doesn't apply; it deals with missing evidence later found.
