    I do not know if it is exactly what Steve Gould was thinking of, but my graduate advisor distinguished between the fact of evolution as the observed evidence of change in organisms over time (whether the changes observed in human history or in the geologic record) and the theory of evolution as the various explanations proposed to account for these changes.
