The lunar atmosphere is measurable from Earth to enough precision that
it's known that you're full of ***. Do you get it yet? Everything you
claim is falsifiable- and has been shown to be false.

For one thing, the LM thrust wasn't at 22,000lbs by the time it got
near the ground. You don't WANT the thrust that high, at that phase, or
no one's landing, but instead they're taking back off for space.

But let's assume, just for your pathetic sake, that it was at full
throttle even within a few feet of touchdown. I then have to ask two
questions:

[1]- What was the cross sectional AREA over which the thrust was
distributed? In other words, what was the AVERAGE pressure any square
inch of topsoil was exposed to during landing?
[2]- Over what amount of TIME was the said area of topsoil exposed to
rocket exhaust?

The larger the area, the lower the actual pressure, and so the slower
the rate of erosion. The less the time, the lower the total erosion.
It's entirely plausible that no deep hole would've been excavated,
especially if the loose soil is deep. If it's deep enough, all that
happens is that the dirt gets swept aside over a large radius.

I also remind you that there are other comparable situations right here
on Earth. Rockets a lot more powerful than the LM are launched
regularly. How big are the holes they plow into their launch pads? Sea
Harriers lift off from asphalt runways. How big are the holes they
gouge out?
