Claiming that I backpedal is more than a little ridiculous Jack by the hedge....
The answer to your more pressing question is no. Armstrong does not believe he is fooling anyone, because Armstrong is telling the truth.
The great thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to keep altering your story, backpedalling and hastily changing the subject. I heartily recommend it.
Having settled that matter, you can now get back to the other pressing question of when you're going to put up or shut up.
Claiming that I backpedal is more than a little ridiculous Jack by the hedge....
There is not a single point of mine that I do not still stand by;
1) Apollo must be fraudulent because in the case of a real program they never would have sent Apollo 8 to the moon without first being certain the Apollo 6 problems were well addressed by way of another unmanned Apollo 6 type test/dry run.
2) Apollo must be fraudulent because in the case of a real program physicians would have addressed the Borman illness in a very different way than it in fact the matter was addressed.
3) Apollo must be fraudulent because in the case of a real program they never would have sent men to the moon without a more dependable and sophisticated mechanism for aligning the IMU.
4) Apollo must be fraudulent because in the case of a real program they never would have sent Michael Collins to the moon with a LUNAR AREA 2 MAP that featured a targeted landing site intentionally mislabeled with respect to its coordinates.
5) Apollo must be fraudulent because in the case of a real program they never would have employed a Department of Defense prepared map, mislabeled in the very same way the LAM-2 Map was mislabeled, for the purpose of monitoring the Eagle's alleged descent.
6) Apollo must be fraudulent because in the case of a real program they never would have sent astronauts to the surface of the moon who could not find their location independently, with a high degree of accuracy, without help from the air/Collins, or the ground/MSFN.
7) Apollo must be fraudulent because in the case of a real program they never would have sent a man to the moon who would walk around on the lunar surface so casually with his visor raised as Armstrong did.
8) Apollo must be fraudulent because in the case of a real program they never would have sent the first man to the moon without plans to take at least one dedicated photo of the soon to be world famous explorer/adventurer.
9) Apollo must be fraudulent because in the case of a real program they never would have sent astronauts to the moon who were under the impression that dark adaptation was dependent on the within fractions of a second pupilary constriction/dilatation mechanism.
10) Apollo must be fraudulent because in the case of a real program they never would have sent astronauts to the moon that claimed they at no time saw stars in constellation patterns in cislunar space and claimed that at no time they saw stars in constellation patterns from the surface of the moon.
11) Apollo must be fraudulent because in the case of a real program they never would have sent a man to the moon who though being the first man to allegedly walk on the lunar surface, climbed into his command module for the alleged return to earth and made no dedicated effort himself to try and figure out where it was he landed based on his alleged observations.
12) Apollo must be fraudulent because in the case of a real program they never would have sent an astronaut to the moon that would intentionally point his tv camera at the sun.
13) Apollo must be fraudulent because in the case of a real program they never would have sent astronauts to the moon in a ship that was allegedly hit by lightening.
14) Apollo must be fraudulent because in the case of a real program they never would have sent men to the moon and employed a flight director, Gene Kranz, a man who new the LM would need to be used as a "lifeboat" before it actually had been determined it would need to be used in such a fashion.
Every one of these points is most excellent and I have never backed off on a one. Have not backpedaled one iota with respect to any of this.
If anyone changed their story it is NASA. They claimed in their Apollo 11 Press Kit that they were targeting one specific set of coordinates and confirmed those as the targeted coordinates by featuring them at the center of the landing ellipse in both the LAM-2 Map as well as the tracking map. There can be no mistake that this mislabeling was intentional given both maps were so identically labeled. And then NASA turned around and told us in the Apollo 11 Mission Report that not only were the targeted landing site coordinates different from those presented in the Press Kit, but we also find out that those new coordinates in fact are the true coordinates of the landing ellipse's center.
