"Punctuated equilibrium is a neo-evolutionist doctrine devised to explain why traditional evolution failed to described what was being observed in the fossil "record."" 1) There is no such thing as neo-evolutionism. Theories (pardon the pun) continuously evolve.
2)Science does not have "doctrines".
3P Punctuated equilibrium is not a new concept. It has a long history in the fields of behavioral science and computer modeling in which an iterative orthogonal array process can be greatly accelerated.
4) You obviously don;t know what you are talking about.

4) You obviously don;t know what you are talking about.
1) Neo-Darwinism is indeed neo-evolutionary theory.
2) Of course, it does. A study of the history of science shows a field littered with discarded theories and teachings (aka doctrines) based on them.
3) Punctuated equilibrium (aka PunkEek) is one of the more neo of the neo-Darwinian theories of evolution. Maybe if you're twenty, it would seem to have been around a long time; otherwise, it's pretty new, arriving on the scene in 1972 only 10 years before the first commercially produced CD player (1982). PE came first. It was adopted and adapted since then by other fields.
4) Ha ha ha ha ha. Typical.
