What I took away from the case is the disturbing reminder of how easy it is to get screwed really badly because of something minor that apparently wasn't done maliciously. Lose a home over a six-dollar invoice that got lost in the mail? In this day and age? And I just bought a home... 
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
