If you can't find any evidence, you will need to either modify or discard your hypothesis.

Or explain why the evidence isn't there, which is kind of what punctuated equilibrium is all about.

You know, if there was no evidence of species evolving into another species, then you'd have a point. But Punk eek describes a pattern that should be found in the fossils whenever you find enough of them, and this pattern has been observed, in several instances. So punk eek as a process of speciation has been verified to hold true in at least some cases.
