I agree that it's not a "prove it" scenario, and as you say, the events are unrepeatable. Most of the evidence for evolution has been based on falsifiable hypotheticals.

An example from my previous post could be:
"E. coli can spontaneously incorporate foreign DNA from a plasmid."

Looking at the fossil record can be informative, but I think there's a lot of room for [incorrect] interpretation there. The actual mechanisms that could have allowed for evolution are the testable and the real science.
