Exactly. That's how scientific theories work. They make predictions, and then look for data that supports or contradict those predictions. The further removed a new species is from known species, the better, because it has the greatest chance to contradict current theory. On the other hand, if it supports the theory, it is quite strong evidence for the correctness of the theory.

c'mon, evolution is still just a theory, not cold hard fact...treat it that way

One prediction of evolutionary theory: Given time, a species cut off from light will lose its eyes and coloration.
Cold hard fact: an ecosystem cut off from light for millennia lost its eyes and coloration.
Conclusion: The theory has been supported.
