"1000aa threshold" - a magic number beyond which evolution can't

Let's just look at this first one. You always start off such lists
with real winners!
The problem here is that this 1000aa threshold isn't just some magic
number beyond which evolution can't happen. It is an observed
threshold beyond which evolution doesn't happen. Evolution does
happen, demonstrably, all the time below this threshold. But, as this
threshold is approached, evolution stalls out, exponentially until it
doesn't happen at all well before this threshold is reached.
This is an observed fact. There simply is not argument here. Look it
up if you don't believe me. See if you can find a single example in
literature of any novel system evolving that requires at least 1000aa
working together at the same time.
I'm not sure how one would "look this up." Who exactly observed
this? Can you link to their paper, or provide a reference? How do
you tell how many amino acids are "fairly specified?"
