I believe the explanation that the flag movements coincide with venting from the LM makes sense. You have provided no counter argument to satisfactorily dispute it, you have merely dismissed it as "not viable".
If you want to stand by this, under scrutiny, please re-open the thread which pertains to this, and we can discuss. That thread went off topic (like this one), because NOBODY would stand by their claim under scrutiny.
Since you seem to think this claim makes sense -- let's re-scrutinize it, and see how you explain that "it makes sense"... So far, no one else will champion this, because the TD defense unquestionably falls apart.
In short, there has been NO WAY to justify the 5 motions TOWARDS THE LM. Attempts were:
1. It swung back like a pendulum.
2. The pole itself did 360's...
3. The pole was leaning towards the LM, and so "resting position was on-screen"
Do you have something new to suggest? Or do you want to champion any of these already-failed theories? I'd be happy to re-debunk these claims for you.
#1 and #2 are too easy -- the motion onto the screen is steady/slow, holds steady for 5-15 seconds at a time... so CLEARLY is NOT a pendulum motion, nor a 360 swinging motion.
Only #3 merits some discussion - and so I addressed it in my doc:

So there is the "scrutiny" - perhaps you'd like to explain how this scrutiny can be explained away. So far, no one will even attempt it. Perhaps you can be the first.
Otherwise, that thread is "DONE" - not because I don't want to discuss it, but because nobody else has anything to say against the scrutiny.
