I think the idea is that it is not directly observable. This is, that you won't see a Merychippus give birth to a Pliohippus, and therefore establishing an evolutive relationship between them is a hypothesis at best.

If you get really anal about it, you cannot prove gravity either.

I dislike the implication that the theory of evolition is rubbish because it is non-falsable... it is a bit hypocritical because the "theory" of the Abrahamic god is also non-falsable.
