"Those that support evolution find it not in their best interest to have the theory be consistent."

There is a reason it is called the Theory of Evolution instead of the Evolutionary Principle. It is a model that fits the facts and is revised, as necessary, as more data becomes available. An irony that seems to be lost on most YEC types is that theories evolve until they are proven correct or incorrect.

I totally agree the theory of evolution is unproven. Pick any modification you desire and I will agree that the theory is unproven. I also agree that much of the new data that is recorded does not support the theory and therefore the theory under goes yet another weak modification in a feeble attempt to stave off solid scientific criticism. The invention of PE and the later retraction of PE are great examples of a theory under considerable stress.
