its not critical knowledge for the astronauts..
they cannot even see where they are going.. they just know how to set the attitude and when to turn the engine on and when to turn it off..
or are you trying to suggest that the astronauts needed to have knowledge about where the VA belts are in order to steer the craft around it??
You're suggesting the astronauts wouldn't have a clue about what they are steering around, while carrying Van Allen Belt dosimeters aboard their friggin' spacecraft!!

The plume burn is clearly visible as the brown discoloured area, extended from under the decent engine bell in the direction of travel. The rest of the lunar surface is grey. As the landing video shows dust very clearly being disturbed and shows craters that are visible in LRO images it is impossible to deny that the descent engine had an impact.
I am not going to jump through hoops just to keep your pretense alive. Everyone else can see it, you just refuse to.

why is that knowledge for the astronauts critical for the success of the mission??
are you telling me the trajectory was not planned beforehand and the astronauts had to physically steer around this obstacle using their "VAB dosimeters"???
The Van Allen belt dosimeter (VABD) (fig. 3) was designed specifically for Apollo dosimetry within these radiation
belts and has proved satisfactory because dose values derived from its greater than 180" radiation acceptance angle have correlated well with doses indicated by postflight analyses of passive dosimeters worn by the crewmen.

No, you made it all up, as usual.
A Van Allen Belt dosimeter was in the craft, yes?
How would that work, in your story?
I can't wait to hear this one...

I have shown you evidence of it, and other people's studies pointing it out.
If you refuse to see it it's not my problem.
Your game of "I demand evidence", "here it is", "no not that evidence because it proves me wrong, other evidence" is pointless and I'm not jumping every time you demand it. You've had what you asked for, admit you were wrong and move on.

You're the one playing games here.
If you had evidence for this claim, you'd show it.
But you can't.
Many of the Apollo images have darker and lighter areas, no physical feature causing it. Same idea.

I have already shown you photographs showing discoloured ground in a direction consistent with the flight path of the LM.
I shown you studies by other people identifying the same features.
Saying I haven't shown you it is not true and it's not my problem if you can't see it. As far as I'm concerned you denied something existed and are refusing to acknowledge that you were wrong about it.

You HAVEN'T shown me any evidence.
Look at one of the panoramic images you used for your argument...

you dont see the discoloration that OBMonkey was talking about??
Don't you see the much greater "discoloration" on the right side of the panorama that I was talking about?

Aaah we're referring specifically to the ones built into the space craft rather than the personal dosimeters (which I was referring to) - my mistake.
So, Turbonium must have some data from these dosimeters that proved that they were fatal to the astronauts yes? He will, of course, be providing this data soon.
He will also , of course, be showing how the astronauts were required to operate these dosimeters and had to use them to take avoiding action whenever they saw a particle approaching.
