I'll take a gander.
I think Gould was totally wrong to say that the ToE would be wrong if a rabbit was found in the pre-Cambrian rocks. He would be right if he meant the natural history, because having a mammal appear when animals themselves are supposed to just be appearing (if you take the closest end of the pre-cambrian to us).
I hardly see how a rabbit back then would violate the formula [natural selection + random mutation/variation ]. In order to violate that formula you need to prove that variation doesn't happen or that natural selection doesn't work.
As to creating false impressions of victory, I don't think it really matters. The creos like to think they've won when the really haven't even in the normal course of the debate. For it to be a real victory, wouldn't they have needed to have predicted such finds? Oh wait, they can't, can they?
Okay, long way to get to a simple point.
Finding humans and dinoes together only disproves current timeline, not the actual theory (see formula above for most basic representation of the theory).
