A guy at a hardware store in Reno told me the moon landing was faked, and his one reason actually made me go read for 2 hours

Last Saturday I was in a hardware store in Reno waiting on a key copy, and the older guy next to me started talking about the moon landing. He said the giveaway was the flag waving, and he was so sure about it that I just nodded along. I went home and read about it for 2 hours, and it turns out the flag had a horizontal rod so it would stay out, and it only moved because the astronauts were twisting it into the ground. That is a real detail, not a cover story, and I found it in about 10 minutes. Here is my problem with this whole debate: people on both sides just repeat the thing they heard and never check the boring explanation. He had one point and I had zero, until I looked it up. Now I want the actual strongest case people have, not the flag thing. What is the one piece of evidence that you think a normal person cannot explain away?
