Talk:Apollo 11 Lunar Landing Hoax Set/@comment-5782071-20170727180822/@comment-24588058-20170731023336

Exactly. And because NASA figured that people might try to claim falsehood at some point, and if they kept the video as is would be proven fake, they had Apollo 12 perform the exact same actions so that, by all future viewing appearances, it is an authentic tape of the "first" lunar landing. If you compared the false tape next to the real tape, it would appear extremely similar, courtesy of the 8 minute delay. But all it would take is a few false steps to throw the whole thing for a loop. Better safe than sorry.

That's what I'm saying (in addition to what Draco explained). Hopefully that's worded better.
